I moved here from Pennsylvania; I love driving and have driven all over the country, and I think the worst general driving behavior I've seen has been here in CT (FYI I live in downtown Hartford). The most common thing I see is people just sitting there when the light turns green, and not looking up until the very last second, and now they're the ONLY car that can go on that green light. Oh, and are cars just sold without turn signals here? I'm now honestly shocked when I see one being used, especially to signal lane changes. My wife has already had her car totaled when a guy in a truck decided to make a right turn into her from the left lane, and I just know my time is coming. We've been here four months, people. I like this state way more than I expected, but the driving here is harrowing.

Yikes sorry to hear about your wife. I've seen that happen so many times it's crazy. Heck I even someone do a left turn from the right lane the other day when they saw that I wasn't speeding up to beat the yellow light. I was very back from the white line when it changed from green to yellow so there was no way I could beat it.

PA people know how to drive. I used to live in Conshohocken and it was a pleasure to drive through PA and even in Jersey. Once I got to NY and CT, then my nerves were tested.
