Certainly never drove in Massachusetts. When I was still living in NJ, I thought the way they drove to be psychotic (never mind downright rude) when I visited Boston.
You aren't kidding! I thought Chicago was bad, but at least Chicago drivers will only kill you to get where they're going. In Massachusetts it's personal.

I took the kid and a friend to Boston years ago, hubby said, oh don’t worry driving there is OK.
Yeah right.
I came home and said: I’ll drive a yellow cab in NYC for the rest of my life as long as I never have to drive in Beantown again!
They are the worst.
I drove in Boston once back in 86. A taxi to my right and I were waiting at the light. When it turned green, the cab driver turned left in front of me. What he didn’t recognize, was the van was a one ton with with a heavily reinforced step bumper on the front. The center where the license plate is normally mounted had been replaced with a piece of 6” channel. A piece of 1/4” plate had been added all the way across on the bottom. The truck with its low rear end ratio and diesel engine to which I had added a turbo would beat most cars off the line when the red light changed.
He lived.
I think it has become better, but many of the roads being old cow paths does not help, while Miami seemed worse to me, esp. the bus drivers.
