BASIC RULES FOR DRIVING IN BOSTON (subject to change at any time):
When on a one way street, stay to the right to allow oncoming traffic
to pass.
Never, ever, stop for a pedestrian unless he flings himself under the
wheels of
your car.
The first parking space you see will be the last parking space you
see. Grab it.
Double park in the North End of Boston, unless triple parking is
available.
Learn to swerve abruptly. Boston is the home of slalom driving, thanks
to the Registry of Motor Vehicles, which puts potholes in key locations
to test drivers' reflexes and keep them on their toes.
Never get in the way of a car that needs extensive bodywork.
Always look both ways when running a red light.
Honk your horn the instant the light changes.
Breakdown lanes are not for breaking down, but for speeding,
especially
during rush hour.
Breakdown lanes may also end without warning causing traffic jams as
people merge back in.
Never use directional signals when changing lanes. They only warn
other drivers
to speed up and not let you in.
Making eye contact revokes your right of way.
Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right.
Whenever possible, stop in the middle of a crosswalk to ensure
inconveniencing as many pedestrians as possible.
And if a pedestrian ahead of you steps in the road, speed up loudly
and
chase him back up on the curb. Peds have no rights.
