Ken: it is true that I had to radically change my driving habits once I started driving out here. Stuff that’s perfectly normal on the east coast (such as using one’s horn to wake up “confused by the green light guy”) just isn’t done out here.
Though Boston is a special case. It’s the worst driving I’ve ever seen in the U.S. (though not in the world: I’m not that widely traveled but my current personal leading contender is Greece).
Now that I think about it, though, the order of boarding for transit in most places I’ve used it is whoever happens to be nearest the doors. Mind you, the queue is not a familiar concept in either Washington D.C. or Bangkok.
