Strange, I didn't have a problem with drivers in Boston, just the roads being very confusing. Still I'm used to driving in Atlanta (4th on the list).

The fact that I have no idea what that means suggests the answer is no!

Just ahead of Frankford. I think it was because of the day old man Smith fell asleep at the stop sign and some out of towner honked their horn.

That reminds me of the "England Man from England, Wales" who rear ended a girl in Hannibal a while back. I think Hannibal probably placed higher than us due to that incident.

I'd heard the girls from Hannibal were filthy mares. Not sure what this has to do with driving though.

I heard on the radio this morning, that last year Boston was second and now we're not even in the top 10.

We were in fact 9th in the most polite drivers in the US.

I demand a recount!

Here in Houston everyone is very friendly and helpful.

I even saw one driver help another driver change lanes by gently pushing his car into the other lane. Sometimes we all drive at 5 miles an hour for hours on end to make sure that everyone is safe.
