I've driven in a lot of places in North America. Massachusetts isn't bad. New York is worse, so is New Jersey. Around that area, the worst is Philly.
Massachusetts is dense with the added bonus of comparatively old-world city designs. I've found NJ and NY drivers to be more vocal and annoyed, whereas Mass drivers will just risk wrecking you to prove a point because you've slightly inconvenienced them and made them a little more late
Edit: I also hate camping the passing lane, but the trait I seem not to share with the other Massholes is that I like to keep distance in front of my car regardless of how fast my car is able to go
Massachusetts is fucking empty. Boston is dense.
If you remove the population of all of greater Boston, a rather generous 5 million, then Massachusetts is still the 10th most densely populated state after having 5/7 of its population deleted but keeping the land area. It beats out California, and comes in behind Ohio.
That greater Boston metropolitan area figure may or may not also include population from neighboring Rhode Island and Vermont, not entirely sure on that
If you just take the population of Boston proper, 675k, out of the equation, then Massachusetts maintains its spot as 3rd most dense US state.
So conclusion: Massachusetts is dense af (relative to the US) even without Boston
I don't know anyone who's driven in Houston and not called it the worst. Some places it feels like the drivers don't care if they live or die. Houston they're trying to kill you and themselves
Idk how it compares to Houston, but I was teeeerrified to drive on the freeway for like 2 months when I first moved to Dallas. Also the sheer audacity of some of the traffic maneuvers was something to behold. For example, I would routinely see people turn left from the right-most lane, cutting across 3 or more lanes of traffic. I just cannot comprehend why you would choose to do that instead of just circling the block or turning into a business to turn around.
Having lived in both cities, they’re nothing compared to Midland/Odessa. Those mfs scared the shit out of me.
Bad drivers never miss their exit.
As someone from Houston, Dallas is the worst. Not just at driving; I didn't even read your comment. Dallas is the worst.
...oklahoma with delusions of grandeur...
Oh yeah Houston is way worse. Google "car swangas" probably not what you think
No idea how those were ever legal
Houston is the absolute worst of anywhere I've been.
Rhode Island is pretty bad sometimes
