New Yorkers are the biggest bunch of selfish, lawless assholes when it comes to driving. If you're the first in line waiting at a red light, you'd better not hit the gas as soon as your light turns green. Wait at least 5 seconds to allow the red light runners to sneak through. These people have some weird obsession with lane changes. I guess NY drivers all have ADD or something. Sudden lane changes (without turn signals of course) are prevalent.
Unless you're going 25 MPH over the speed limit, plan on being high beamed or honked at, even in rainy weather. Whenever there's a line of cars backed up at an exit, the typical NY driver will speed to the front of the line, and cut someone off at the front of the line to avoid waiting in traffic.
Here's the NY interpretation of stop signs and yield signs:
Stop sign: Slow down to about 10 mph, the proceed.
Yield: Proceed at full speed, as others will yield to you.
That's a bit different from what I've seen in other states.
I guess this has to do with the fact that NYPD does absolutely nothing to curb this behavior. Hand held cell phones are illegal here, but I swear, at least 1 of every 4 drivers is chatting away while driving. Usually, they talk while making unsafe lane changes and such.
Oh, one thing NY has in common with NE... Hazzard lights aren't really "hazzard" lights. Here they are referred to as the "Legalization of double parking" lights.
Ahhh, I can't wait to move back down south. Things were much different there!
That sounds exactly like MA drivers. I love seeing an ambulance going down the highway and everyone moves over, but then there are 5 assholes that are bumper to bumper right behind the ambulance! Pieces of shit.
Or there's a traffic jam because of an accident and a bunch of shitbags clog up the breakdown lane trying to get past everyone, then the cops/ambulance can't get by. How many people have died because of shit like that? I swear, I will NEVER own a gun because I will kill some bitches while driving. Hahaha.
