Totally agree. Lived on Long Island 20 years, Brooklyn for 4 and Staten Island for 3. You always knew your surroundings, speed of vehicles in your area, following distances and could anticipate what the other drivers were likely to do. Down here, it is a total crapshoot. People here seem to be totally oblivious to their surroundings, not only on the road but in the grocery stores, restaurants, town squares, etc.
