You can say it's out of staters all you want , but this is decidedly a MA problem and it's pervasive. Very often the right lane will be empty with a long line of cars in the left. Infuriating.

I wouldn’t say it’s uniquely an MA problem. I’ve driven up and down the east coast a few times, and it happens anywhere that there’s a two lane highway with even a moderate amount of traffic. It’s definitely common in Mass, probably more common than most other places, but let’s not give Connecticut and New Jersey a free pass.

There are bad drivers everywhere, to be sure, but driving the same speed in all lanes seems to be a style of driving here. Maybe no one is in a rush...idk. As someone who drove most of my life elsewhere that now lives here its extremely evident to me.

Agreed. My dig about New Yorkers/Canadians was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. :)

It is a MA problem - especially with so much of the Pike being 2 lanes. And, over the past year or so, it seems like it’s just been getting worse. Hence my post! :)
