EDITOR: Dave did not even touch on my pet peeve: the drivers who can not abide people walking or on bicycles. I have witnessed instances where I think a child is going to get hit by an inconsiderate slob in a car. My own children have recounted horror stories of how close they have come to being hit.

EDITOR: I find it terrifying, but I used to live in Boston, so terrifying is contextual. Here, drivers drive as though they’re riding public transportation. It’s like they think they have a right to be where they’re going and the time spent driving is wasted so they’re doing other “important” stuff. In Boston, the drivers drive with intensity and hate. You are always in the way, and if they could end you to get to their destination 30 seconds sooner, they would. Driving is a lethal competition in Boston, it’s more of a happy bumper cars day at the fair in Denver (Except on 70 in the mountains, that can get intense).
