You statement is very true.
Massachusetts without a doubt has the WORST drivers of all, and they apparently are unaware that tailgating, running red lights, not using turn signals, and failing to yield to oncoming traffic when turning left are all ways of getting shot at in other states, like California.

Easy explanation for this, the state is filled with retirees from NY and NJ

When I lived in MA I thought they were the worst too....Then I moved to GA. Boy, did I miss those Massholes! In Mass the driving style is definitely aggressive and turn signals only serve to give the other guy an unfair advantage. In Georgia, random acts of stupidity are far more common. I honestly believe that those people simply can't process incoming data fast enough to drive safely. Sooooo glad to be back in civilization.
