I take offense to being referred to as “they”, who still don’t know how to drive in one. There are crappy drivers everywhere, but that doesn’t necessarily shoehorn anyone into a broad generalization that someone is a crappy driver regardless of where they are from, or where they are currently driving.

I think some people may have misunderstood. I am not "attacking"
Massachusetts drivers. I am rebutting those, who on prior threads, have stated that Massachusetts drivers "know how to drive in RBs". Clearly, based on eyewitness experience, some do not. Therefore, it is the blanket statement of "Massachusetts drivers know how to drive in RBs" that I have "attacked".
