It’s the whole state - seriously. No one in this state can drive.

This again.

If you want to really see bad driving, take a little trip over to Fall River

I don’t think i’ve ever seen a collection of worse drivers. half kiddingly I had to ask my students if rhode island requires you to pass a drivers license test

Olneyville turns everyone into an idiot behind the wheel

Every time I drive in this state I am reminded of that scene in Kung Pow: Enter the Fist where they explain that they have trained Wimp-Lo wrong, on purpose, as a joke.

Something can be a cliche and still be true

Feel like they just pass everyone cause they feel bad or something like it’s not the point like people have kids in their cars

was about to post the same thing.

There are bad drivers everywhere, they are just bad in different ways. Providence drivers are bad. As a rule of thumb, you see some totally insane shit once every 5 minutes while on the road. But once you learn to predict the stupid shit they are going to do, you acclimate. Spent a lot of time driving in the DC area, Maryland drivers are far more insane and unpredictable imo

I've lived across the country. The majority of people do not take the responsibility of driving a 2 ton vehicle seriously. Most drivers suck, just the density of PVD and other cities with poor infrastructure accentuate that issue (read, EVERY New England city).

Grid based cities can be better, but NYC is a nightmare too. Until cell phones are eliminated from the driving equation, and major penalties are issued to the worst offenders (think you'd drive like a total ass clown if your car got impounded for it?) We'll just have to live with it

yesterday I saw someone stop at a stop sign at a four way intersection and the person behind them passed them and blew through the intersection nearly causing a 2 car accident. I was actually dumbfounded that I wasn’t surprised

Post this on the “United States of America” Reddit. It has nothing to do with Providence or RI.

Ok try broad st and come back to me

I could name about 25 streets in NYC and NJ that make Broad Street feel like a private estates driveway.

>We'll just have to live with it

except the people killed and injured, numbers going up

Illegal temp tags and old unregistered plates work wonders for those who don’t want to get insurance or proper licensing

When was the last time you saw Providence police actually setting up and doing traffic stops in areas we all KNOW people drive like asshats?

Westminster, Manton, Harris aves just to name a few on the West side... They could just post up and stop it; the amount of tickets they could write would pay their salaries

Edit for autocorrect

yes the drivers are shit but let’s also talk about how terrible the fucking roads are.

I've seen plenty of brand new beemers and Mercedes turn left on red
