Not one that I drove, anyway. The funniest Boston driving incident I recall was around 1985. I was about thirty, my mother was just about seventy, and she and I and my then-husband were driving down from Maine to Boston. I was tired and got all kind of addled as we entered Boston proper. I stopped the car and asked my mother, "How about you take the wheel?" Oh, Kathy, I’ve been to Boston many a time . . . but: I must admit, rarely in a car. Not one that I drove, anyway.

It's when aggression combines with stupidity, lack of skill, and all-round attitude that I wish I had a rocket launcher. Actually, aggressive driving doesn’t bother me.
