It's time for "Guide to Drivers of the Mid-Atlantic Region" part 2, the long-anticipated sequel.

 

6. Massachusetts - Wow. Just wow. I've heard the nicknames, like "Massholes" and "Massachouchebags", and when I see drivers with good ol' MA tags I understand why these monikers exist. They will tailgate marked police cars in pursuit of other speeders. They will pass you in the shoulder. They will create an imaginary third lane in a two-lane road, generally between the other two lanes. 

 

7. Rhode Island - For reasons I don't understand, the gravest offense I've seen from a Rhode Islander is driving 3 miles under the speed limit while towing a homemade trailer full of firewood, sports equipment, and second-hand furniture. Not bad in the short term, but somehow a potential disaster just waiting to manifest itself.

 

8. West Virginia - somehow unaffected by MADD (Mid-Atlantic Driving Disease). Maybe it's the altitude.

That's all for now... Part 3 will wrap up the series. Eventually.
