Reply to comment by MyOldAolName in Washington vs New England by Emcharms

I grew up in NH and MA, been here a few years now. I just went back to MA for a short trip and had to drive across the state. Holy shit had I forgotten how intense driving is there, massholes for sure would never let anyone else in, speed at crazy speeds, and lane change abruptly without signals. While I was fine, as I’d cut my teeth learning to drive there, I’m glad my wife gets the gentler WA experience lol..

Haha, using your signal just tells everyone what you're trying to do so they can block you. I remember when I first moved here I was merging into traffic on the highway and used my signal, immediately the car next to me slowed down and let me in... that shit still blows my mind sometimes

Spot on! As someone who drives a lot both in PNW and New England, I can’t help but feel amused at how different drivers are in these two parts of the country. I learned driving in MA so I never fully understood why we’d be called Massholes, until I started driving out west.
