On a related note, I found this funny correlation:

It does seem that people's bad driving habits carry over into the grocery store. I've identified these types, see what you can add:

The Mercedes (I would have said Porsche) cart pusher: stops cart in the middle of the aisle with not enough room to get around on either side.

The BMW cart pusher: yells if you pause for anything, cuts you off to get into the checkout first.

The Cadillac (I would add Buick) cart pusher: keeps moving, but so slowly that your ice cream starts to melt.

The Lexus cart pusher: on the phone, runs into you/your cart in pretty much every aisle.

The Civic cart pusher: stops in front of every desired product, reads the label on every brand.

The Mustang cart pusher: only seen in beer, snacks, and hair care aisles.

The Prius cart pusher: easily avoided by staying away from the organic produce section.

My additions:

British roadster cart pusher: something always leaking from the cart.

Lincoln MKZ cart pusher: Wanders aimlessly around market late at night mumbling random philosophical metaphors.

Tesla Model S cart pushers: Always checking where the nearest wall outlet is.

Statistically, the NE has a lock on the worst of the worst:

On the other hand, you might want to pack up the SUV and head for greener pastures if you live in Worcester, MA, which can lay claim to having the worst drivers in America. Worcesterites (or whatever they call themselves) tend to become involved in an auto accident once every 4.3 years, which makes them 134.8 percent more liable to crash their cars than the average American.

All but one of the 10 cities having the most accident-afflicted motorists are located in the Northeast, with Boston and Washington, DC – not coincidentally two cities that perennially place at or near the top of worst-traffic lists – rounding out the top three.

Propensity for accident involvement is only one measure of what makes drivers good. There are others.

Yes illegal behavior only changes with the perceived likelihood of getting caught, which only changes with more enforcement. Increasing fines etc does very little.

And then there are law abiding citizens that do the right thing.

Thing is, I rather like aggressive NYC drivers. Keeps the wimps off the roads.

Until someone bashes into your car. Or changes lanes in front of you, turns causing you to jam the brakes and the car behind hits you. Or blows a 10 second solid red light.

I've raced Formula Ford and done some short track oval racing, I don't think you would really want to head to head with some of the people I've raced with. And, I've practiced the PIT maneuver, would you be OK if I performed that on your car? Or bump drafting?

It's happened -- I gave him two choices:
(1) Give me cash for the damage today, sign a statement, and I'd forget his license plate. (Sufficient cash so I came out slightly ahead if I fixed it myself, damage was below the legal threshold.)
(2) Pay higher insurance on his black cab for the next three years.

Guess which one he chose? Anywhere else, pesky, time-wasting things like cops, insurance companies, etc would have been involved. If I were a D&D character, I'd be chaotic-good.

...& brings the idiots on...

Please, none of that E15 rice. The car never runs as well on it.
