But I think a lot of people do that, not just in MA, although it does seem more common there. I lived in MA for a long time and when I go back the old tactics resurface because it is something of a survival issue. I was there with my daughter a couple weeks back and she was amazed at how badly MA drivers behave
What I notice here in NH and the states I drive in most often (ME, CT and NY) is that if you see someone doing something overly aggressive, obnoxious, dangerous or dumb you'll probably see a MA plate on the car.
The people that drive me nuts are the ones who follow 2 car lengths back in the left lane at 75 when I'm going with the flow of traffic. They see that I have a good following distance (2 secs or so) from the guy ahead of me, so they pass me on the right, then cut in front of me and then tailgate the guy in front of me. I have to admit, I will speed up sometimes to close the gate on the guy.
I notice this a lot on the Maine Turnpike, and almost all the guys doing the passing have MA plates.
