Even thugs sometimes obey the signs

This evening, whilst waiting for the bus, I observed the following: an older white mercedes SUV, with huge gaudy rims and two white-rapper-wannabees (complete with the over-the-top hooded sweatshirts, and the passenger tapping on his cell phone) come to a tire-squirming stop at the light.

The jostled passenger looked up and said something angrily with a motion of the hand to the driver. To my absolute amazement, the driver stared him down for a few seconds with a "what's the matter with you?" look, and pointed to the traffic light where a "no turn on red" sign. The passenger responds with incredulousness, is stared down some more, and returns to his cell phone.

Police details and Boston drivers

Only Massachusetts requires police details at road work sites. Boston drivers are from Massachusetts. Coincidence? DrivingLikeAss.Com thinks not.
The new DLA Labs study, Traffic Authority Figures & Their Effectiveness in the Modification of Ass-like Driving Behavior: A DLA Research Study, points to a possible sensory cortex dysfunction among Boston drivers. On the other hand, it could also be that they just like driving like ass.
