Cracker Jack Licenses

So I'm convinced that Massachusetts residents at the age of 17 get a box of Cracker Jack sent to them from the RMV on their bday. They open it up and the majority get a lovely prize of a driver's license. It's the only explanation for the driving abilities of Massachusetts drivers (sorry all of you Massachusetts drivers who actually had to take their road test). Every morning I drive Matt to work in Harvard Square and then I continue on to Watertown. Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of road and water main construction going on during our route and the driving is 15 times worse then it normally is. Big arrows point the way to the right showing clearly that the lane is closed to drivers but yet it seems that at least 2-3 drivers next to me do not see this and then b/c their lane is closed, well they just move on over into my lane - it doesn't matter if they will hit me or not. And then b/c traffic is moving slowly, the intersections are always blocked by cars who cannot make it through the light and so therefore I am stuck on my side of the intersection unable to make it through. Why aren't Massachusetts drivers more courteous? Why don't they know what is going on around them? And it's not just the summer months and construction - God forbid that there is something in the right lane (like a stopped bus) and you are in the left b/c I guarantee that the person next to you is going to swerve into the left lane to avoid what's in their lane - never once checking to see if someone is next to me. Numerous times I have actually been forced to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid being sideswiped by the car next to me. I have lived in Massachusetts and in NY and I don't care what anyone says - NY drivers are 50 times more courteous and more aware of their surroundings then MA drivers. Seriously - Cracker Jack Licenses.
