Traffic laws there are considered suggestions at best.

There's a reason they call Massachusetts drivers "Massholes" ...
I've had more than a few near misses, and unfortunately, a few non-misses. Scariest near-miss: I was on the interstate, and it was snowing, but not quite sticking. I was doing maybe 50, and being passed right and left by folks doing 70 or 80 despite the snow. I came around a corner and there were at least 40 cars spun out, scattered all over the pavement, median, and right shoulder. People were standing around on the median and the shoulder, swapping insurance information and tending to injuries. I had no choice - I slammed on my brakes, the anti-lock brakes promptly locked
, and I narrowly averted becoming the driver of car # 41.
I finished my drive home at a much more sedate 30 or so.
