Having lived & driven in CT and FL for 5 years+, CT drivers drive relatively safely but you can feel the sense of entitlement on the Merritt with people camping in the passing lane and REFUSING to move. Probably my biggest complaint. Oh and CT drivers are clueless to motorcycles. I know this because one ran me over in 2018 😂

Since coming back from Japan a couple years ago, I've actually noticed far fewer lane campers with CT plates than mass or ny

It’s always the New Yorkers fucking up the flow near me. I was deep into the boonies of Mass today and I got stuck behind someone from NY I couldn’t believe it

Agree. Out of state drivers are the biggest problem when it comes to left lane camping in my experience.

As someone who just had their foot broken on their motorcycle by a guy who didn’t look AT ALL before pulling into a main Avenue, yeah I second that.

It was the “let me look down at my phone while I proceed to make a left across two lanes of moving traffic” that got me. Then the woman called me a liar when I said I scan people’s eyes when I ride. I’m like lady, it’s really not that hard - your windshield is see through and your entire face was pointing down at your lap 😂

Bro that’s literally the move this guy pulled. The classic bit is when he said “I don’t know, the guy took off, crazy”, after I asked him if he saw where the driver that caused my wreck went, while I was basically in shock and collapsed on the sidewalk from trying to put pressure on my foot lifting my own bike off of me without help as I was pinned to the ground with my foot bent the other way.. And that’s when an eye witness whispered to me “it was HIM”. About 5 mins later the guy goes “ok yeah it was me I didn’t see you OK?!” Fast forward to 6 months later and even though we have the driver admitting fault on the cops badge cam, Bridgeport PD is withholding the drivers info inexplicably.. Lawyers on it.. Imagine protecting an asshole like that?!

Jesus that’s awful what a POS. Wishing only the worst on that guy. Hope your recovery is going well my friend. Stay safe out there.
