So... "It's me who is right, and everyone else who is wrong".

You hear Mainers talking about this all the time for a good reason. It doesn't come out of thin air, its observed behavior and pattern recognition (so atavistic, how low-brow of us). I know what confirmation bias and selective perception are, but thanks for the links.

I drive for a living, I'm out there all day everyday and I see it all. Not every MA driver is careless and/or rude, but after 40 years of observation some patterns do emerge. I understand they drive the way they do for a reason, I lived in Boston for 10 years. It's just how you need to drive down there, but it doesn't translate up here and its glaringly obvious to witness.

I literally just got home from work, and about an hour ago I was up at the small rotary heading from Dover to Durham NH. This rotary is tiny, I usually go about 15 miles an hour approaching and around. Its so small you really cant be going any faster than that. The car in front of me approached going about 35 mph, veered into the outside lane (two lane rotary) in front of me at the last second, no signal, no yield. They crashed into the car already going around the rotary. Everyone was ok. Guess where they were from?
