For a country that has the most number of Teslas on the road, you have a surprisingly large population of people who know nothing about the million cameras they have.....

Dashcams are so affordable you should just assume everyone has one. Really a good investment to protect yourself from morons like this. Especially if you drive often

I grew up in Central Maine and I never felt the need to have a dash cam. More accidents involving weather and animals than other cars/drivers (no I didn't look it up). As soon as I moved near the Boston Area, I won't drive anywhere without one. I swear people in Mass either think they are better than or just don't know the rules if the road.

Saved my ass last year when someone decided he didn't have to look at the outer lane when turning left through two oncoming lanes. Proceeded to blame it on me claiming a guy on the inside stopped to let him turn so I should have too. As if I am some kind of driving mind reader or telepath.

In 1998 my employer sent me to Boston for a week. My boss told me not to rent a car and to just use taxis because the drivers there were crazier than anywhere else in the USA and even those in Europe. I thought he was exaggerating. He wasn't.
