[image] VDCdriver: 100% of the time the car has NY plates Grew up in NY. They drive like little old ladies compared to MAholes. No contest. Many years ago a bridge on I90 in NY went out west of Albany. Took 2 years to rebuilt it. We’d travel back to NY to visit family and had to go through t…

It’s possible that road design could be dangerous, but I think that cruise control and mandatory insurance are a cause of accidents. It’s said that 20% of drivers cause 80% of the accidents.
