I haven’t traveled by car in other parts of the country in a while, but do you have the feeling that what I see in poor Maryland is also happening everywhere, or is it just Maryland that looks like some of the worst third world countries?

I think I know where the problem is!


P.S. where did you move from?

But trust me, you'll see similar crappy driving even in Texas.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, but TBH 695 is just awful overall. Worse than Capital Beltway (495).

"Maryland just have bad drivers lol...although NoVA one aren't that much better nor DC one."
And where did you move her from?

You would be surprised how many of the drivers you seem to hate so much, moved here from OTHER STATES!

Having traveled all over the U.S, IMO, which is all you have, I have seen a lot WORSE places.


My 1st place bad place, is boston.

Instead of asking us,why don't you travel the other states and find out for yourself!

Uh, where are you from?

Apologists for MD will be along shortly.

"Maryland very much looks like a third world country"

And how much of MD have you actually seen?

And where are YOU from originally?

Or are you afraid to admit where it is?

Who FORCED you to move here?

And, why don't you go back, being you hate it here so much?

This place MUST be better, otherwise you wouldn't be here!

"Super"

Someone thinks very highly of themselves!

And by choosing a site name "super", tell me all I need to know about you and your vanity!

So yeah, I think Maryland does have some issues with bad drivers and reckless driving. Further enforcement can help.

Arlington is looking into enforcing loud exhaust systems and ticketing people for having them on their cars.

There is also the ability to use automated ticketing systems to send tickets to drivers of loud cars.

So, where else in the U.S have you driven?

My 1st place bad place, is boston.

I didn’t move here from anywhere else. My family has been in DC, MD, and VA for hundreds of years. MD seems to have a ridiculous lack of enforcement on their roads and I consistently see people driving recklessly and failing to use turn signals when I go to MD. The one good thing I will say, is that they have speed cameras on some roads, but on the highways that don’t have these cameras it can get crazy.

To answer your other post, I’ve driven in FL (terrible drivers too imo). Up and down the east coast pretty much. I’ve driven in Boston, not extremely terrible drivers there, I think MD drivers are worse.

[luv4horses]

A lot of us HATE purposely noisy, modified cars. But that seems to be their purpose. Usually younger drivers claiming “I am better than you! I can do what I want. You can’t stop me.” It appears that is so upsetting to a few driving behind them that those few then momentarily are incited to drive dangerously. Such as gunning their own motors to speed around in front of the noisemakers, even cutting them off.

Anything that creates anger and resentment on the roadways needs to be minimized somehow. I think it may seem worse in MD because the roads do get really crowded at certain times of day.

[skeddy]

meh , when I lived in NoVa I thought Maryland drivers were the worst, when I lived in Maryland I thought Virginia drivers were the worst, now living along the Mid-Atlantic coast I find Pennsylvania drivers to be the worst.

It's all perspective.
