in case you were wondering why no fewer than four news copters were hovering over winter hill/east somerville this afternoon, click here. some jerk driver ran over a teenager at assembly square and killed him.

I think what you meant to say was it's like no one around here has heard of a red light. Period. ;)

BTW, I always stop there for pedestrians.

No kidding :-)

I think the thing that drives me the craziest about Boston drivers is they know they are bad drivers and rather than being ashamed, they boast and are proud of it! It boggles the mind.

Human nature. Why improve? We don't need to improve! We'll just embrace that we suck!

I personally despise the lack of patience. The light turned green half a second ago, is it necessary to beep at me?

I'm not a native, but moved up this way 10 years ago. I very much regret that I become more of a Boston driver every year. This place just does it to you. You're constantly surrounded by Massholes and having to watch out for stupid pedestrians who think it's a great idea to run into oncoming traffic any time they feel like it, the roads suck, the signage is terrible, and you eventually learn that the only way to actually get to your destination is to start adapting to the local bad driving. I'm not especially proud of it. *sigh*
