Ah, you've obviously driven in Boston.

Speaking of which, some incorrect driving advice:

- Stop signs with white borders are "optional stop signs". If you don't feel like stopping, just plow on through.
- The Boston Left Turn is completely legal. (For the uninitiated, a Boston Left Turn is what you do when you are stopped at a red light and you want to turn left. When the light turns green (no left arrow, just a green ball) you punch it and make the left before the drivers stopped opposite you have a chance to realize the light is green and accelerate.)
- Stopping at the scene of an accident you caused is optional. They'll never catch you. (I once got the tag # of a bitch who rear-ended me and took off down the interstate. According to the police report, she didn't stop because she didn't think I'd stopped. At the speed she was going, she was in the next state by the time I pulled over safely. She got (as the cop put it) "a whole raft of tickets".)
- Using a hand-held cell phone while driving in crappy weather conditions is a GREAT idea.
