Do Boston-area drivers drive more efficiently?

[SectorZ]

I worked in Boston for 8 months. I'm just here to say Boston drivers may be "efficient,"  but they are definitely some of the worst drivers in America.

Meh.  CT is worse.

Disagree.  CT drivers, like NY, are predictable.  MA drivers are anything but.

Nah.  I grew up in MA.  CT drivers give a bad name to the entire Northeast.  Keep an eye out for those telltale blue plates and you'll see how they've infected everywhere with their overinsured bad driving.

Overinsured? One of the most basic truths of auto insurance is that level of insurance decreases with driving skill. Irresponsibility is consistent across both driving and being financially responsible.

(And this isn't a poverty thing. I can't believe how many claims I adjusted where someone's expensive car came with rather low liability limits).

Pfft.  CT is where a whole bunch of insurance companies are headquartered.  I am sure the thousands of employees have some sort of benefit in terms of cheap, good insurance.

Key part of the statement there.

There are drivers here that will merge onto the freeway at 55mph and then immediately camp in the center or left lane at that speed. It's obviously out of instinct.

This is a very common thing in Connecticut. It's even worse when they get in the left lane to pass a truck, but then go the exact same speed as said truck. This is especially common on I-84 between Danbury and Waterbury.

Most carriers give their employees a 10% discount. Not very lucrative.

Let me rephrase:  It was a joke.

My dad avoided I-95 through Boston in 2012 for these reasons. He opted for I-495, to stay away from the city.

Pretty easy to avoid a road that was never built...
