I was a truck driver up there, and I would hear out of state truckers going nuts about how the drivers up there would drive over the CB.

My MIL is another who would do as you have mentioned. When she came to visit here she told my wife she should pull into the intersection in case it goes red. My wife told her that people do not do that here and she could not understand.
Next day she asked if she could drive and the answer was no.

Ever had the middle finger given to you because you were going at the speed limit, or the best ne is when you signal, yes I know a strange concept for some up there , but anyway you signal and as soon as you do the driver behind you speeds up to not let you over?

I still for the life of me can’t understand why some do that. You see me with the signal on , and now you speed up to not let me over, bizarre

If you are making the signal so close to them that they have TIME to do this, you're not ready to make your move.

Remember, the left lane is for passing ONLY. No matter how fast you're going in it, if someone is behind you, you're breaking the law (even if you're going the speed limit). Pass, get over, period.

One of the worst things here in the Boston area is we are allowed to travel in the breakdown lane (during rush hours)on a section of Rt 95.

It is almost impossible to pull over as you approach your exit because the cars travel at great speed——in the breakdown lane.

I avoid it now that I’m retired.

When you see the left-front or right-front corner of my vehicle coming into the lane in front of you, then that is my "signal" that I am making a turn.

So that's how I have adapted to exactly what you have described, which also happens all the time where I live, in New York City.
