Then, why is it only Rhode Island has this issue? Sounds like a bunch a cockamamie excuses to me. i’m stressed out from the stupidity in this world but I still have a fucking common sense brain to know what to turn my lights on and how to merge in lanes. There’s no excuse for stupidity like that. I’m sorry people are going to get killed from idiots like this I seriously injured. And here’s the best part. This has been going on for many years. Now Rhode Island is rated the shittiest drivers for years, even before the pandemic and social media.

Can't wait to try it! I decided rather than traditional gifts, I'd make up a Rhode Island gift basket of sorts to show my out of town relatives what RI has to offer. So far I got some Buddy Cianci Pasta Sauce, Del's Lemonade Powder, and some seasoning packs to make the NY System Hot Weiner Sauce. I'll definitely be getting some of the smoked Bluefish as well. Still need a few more things so let me know if you have any ideas!

Drivers Ed a long time ago when you first started driving, isn’t gonna remind you to turn on your lights when you’ve had an insane work day. And it’s not gonna be the reason you’re paying attention and zipper through a lane drop without slowing down the people behind you.
Everyone is over worked, stressed out, distracted, and it shows in our driving.
Nobody “learns” how to drive
The best drivers in the world are still learning and practicing every day.

Surprised to see Cleveland on here… we’re near Boston. What explains Cleveland?

So you’re telling me it’s a learning curve to know that your fucking lights are not on and that you should probably put them on when it’s nighttime? And you’re telling me that driving school doesn’t teach you how to lane merge?

It's not the grade of the turn, it's that it is blind to the traffic that forms as a result of the Thurbers exit and then the Thurbers/195 mixer. In this particular case that sounds like it wasn't the case but generally speaking this is the bigger problem.

It’s not that sharp I agree. In the right car you could easily go through that whole stretch of road averaging 130mph.
People are still totaling their cars and dying at 60mph on it though.

the post wasn’t about reflecting on this “serious problem”, therefor your opinion on this “serious problem “ is not valid for this post. we’re all aware that new england drivers are terrible, it’s literally old common news. the post was about showing a little compassion for someone that almost had a really bad experience. grow up

You don’t just learn how to drive one day and you’re good for the rest of your life in any scenario. You’re constantly learning, seeing more scenarios, making more decisions quickly etc. I don’t think you realize you have the biggest handicap when it comes to driving. Which is a big ego. 🥴

Is it the drivers, or the roads the drivers have to work with here, and the heavy traffic that is on it every day.
I have driven all over the US, almost every state. Grew up getting to drive pretty often before the age of 10 years old in the rural Midwest.
No amount of previous driving experience will ever help me with being safe in north eastern city traffic.
Leaving the state to “learn to drive” isn’t gonna do anything. You wanna “learn to drive” then do yourself a favor and turn your radio off, put your phone away, pay attention and go drive on every highway near providence. That’s the best practice you can get.

Can’t argue statistics lol. Doesn’t matter what it was like the times you drove through. If it wasn’t a dangerous stretch of road and it was so easy everybody could do it no problem, I wouldn’t be here making this post about this corner.
Seems easy
Can still be easy
Can still get you killed on your way to or from your house.

Yes. She appeared to be a female who was between the age of 16-21. If I am unsure if somebody is a minor or an adult, that to me classifies as boy/girl

I was more making the point that driving in a place like the Midwest, where roads are flat, not much traffic, not as many corners, Requires less attention than driving in a place like providence on 95. Yes you should always pay attention while driving. But you can’t learn to drive in providence traffic until you get exposed to providence traffic.

People in Rhode Island are the worst fucking drivers hands-down. You all should be ashamed of yourselves give up your fucking license and go move to a state. That’ll actually teach you how to fucking drive.

I had it there. It’s pretty good. Don’t have a past experience to compare it to, but as food, it’s pretty good.
