1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>It's nice size. I'm Boston's news radio.

2
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:13.519
<v Speaker 2>So today I had to drive early this morning, well

3
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:15.599
<v Speaker 2>for me early this morning, it's nine o'clock when you

4
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:22.480
<v Speaker 2>work until midnight, and once again I was reminded how

5
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:27.920
<v Speaker 2>bad Massachusetts drivers are. Okay, now, it just so happened

6
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.440
<v Speaker 2>that on this very day there was a report, a

7
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:36.560
<v Speaker 2>scientific report. My feeling is a little more subjective, but

8
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.280
<v Speaker 2>I suspect some of you might feel the same way.

9
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:45.320
<v Speaker 2>A lending Tree, a lot of these companies now do surveys,

10
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.039
<v Speaker 2>and this seemed to be a pretty legitimate survey by

11
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:53.280
<v Speaker 2>a company called lending Tree, and basically they concluded that,

12
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 2>according to the latest lending Tree study, it seems pretty scientific,

13
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Massachusetts had the worst drivers in the US. Well, Arkansas

14
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:07.519
<v Speaker 2>has the best. Now Massachusetts has the worst drivers in

15
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.040
<v Speaker 2>the US because from November fifth of twenty twenty three

16
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.959
<v Speaker 2>through November fourth of twenty twenty four, that's a year

17
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Massachusetts drivers had sixty one point one incidents, which meant accidents, DUI,

18
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 2>speeding and citations per one thousand drivers. So you have

19
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>about a six percent chance if you're a driver in

20
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Massachusetts in any given year to get into an accident,

21
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.920
<v Speaker 2>have a DUI as speeding or a citation. Okay, the

22
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.640
<v Speaker 2>next worst drivers are in Rhode Island. Also, maybe we

23
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 2>have an influence of an Island and also California, but

24
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:50.359
<v Speaker 2>we're the worst. We're the worst. According to this this data,

25
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 2>the best drivers in the US are from Arkansas because

26
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:58.560
<v Speaker 2>they have per one thousand drivers only fourteen point seven.

27
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>We have four times the number of incidents, which means

28
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>again accidents to UIs speeding in citations. We have the

29
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.159
<v Speaker 2>highest accident rate forty four point four accidents per thousand.

30
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 2>The only other state about forty is Rhode Island. In California,

31
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>they die for second, and then they talk about drunk

32
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 2>driving the District of Columbia. What you expect three point

33
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 2>six d UIs per thousand drivers. I suspect a lot

34
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.639
<v Speaker 2>of politicians and members of Congress that get pulled over

35
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 2>for DUI in the District of Columbia probably get to pass.

36
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 2>But that's not why I think we have the worst drivers.

37
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you why I think we have the worst drivers.

38
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.639
<v Speaker 2>I watch how other drivers drive. And one of the

39
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 2>things that drives me nuts about Massachusetts drivers, and I

40
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 2>guess we're talking Boston drivers, is this and I wonder

41
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.599
<v Speaker 2>how many of you can identify with this. You're sitting

42
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.879
<v Speaker 2>at a traffic light, you're maybe the sixth or seventh

43
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:14.719
<v Speaker 2>car from the traffic light, and the traffic light turns

44
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>green or the arrow gives you you can turn left,

45
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 2>whatever turns green. How long does it take for you

46
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 2>to move if you're the sixth or seventh car, Well,

47
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 2>that's determined by how quickly the first, second, third, fourth,

48
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:33.560
<v Speaker 2>fifth car move. And wherever I am, and this morning,

49
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:39.599
<v Speaker 2>I was on Lake Street in Brighton. I was about

50
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.639
<v Speaker 2>the sixth or seventh car back, and of course the

51
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>traffic light turned green, and it wasn't like the intersection

52
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 2>was blocked. The driver at the top just stood this,

53
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:57.479
<v Speaker 2>didn't move. Finally, after about five or ten seconds, they

54
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 2>eased into the intersection and they took a left, and

55
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 2>then the driver was right behind kind of eased through

56
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 2>the intersection straight. And of course by time I got

57
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 2>to the intersection, I was a six or seventh driver.

58
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.800
<v Speaker 2>The light is red. Now I'm put in the position

59
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.079
<v Speaker 2>I didn't run the red light because I'm not crazy,

60
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 2>but there's no reason for me to be stopped at

61
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.199
<v Speaker 2>that red light. If the driver's in front of me,

62
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 2>we're a little more aggressive. So I think our problem

63
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 2>in Massachusetts is not that we're too aggressive, that we

64
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 2>speed too much, that we get into too many accidents.

65
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 2>I think the problem is we're not aggressive enough. It's

66
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.680
<v Speaker 2>as simple as that. When that light turns green, if

67
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 2>you're sitting and you're at the first car, you're going

68
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 2>to get through, even if you wait until the last second,

69
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.519
<v Speaker 2>and when it turns yellow, you'll be able to go

70
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 2>through on the yellow, but no one else will get through.

71
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 2>Then you have the people in Massachusetts who have to

72
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 2>roll into the intersection which is blocked. Okay, you can't

73
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 2>get through the intersection. You roll into the intersection and

74
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>you block I was driving into Boston. I was riding

75
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.959
<v Speaker 2>into Boston on Saturday night. Come all avenue, you know

76
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 2>what the ritz is. You take the right there and

77
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.920
<v Speaker 2>come aalth Avenue right at the public garden, and all

78
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.160
<v Speaker 2>of these people, one car, two cars will get through.

79
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.759
<v Speaker 2>Why because people are blocking the intersection. Now, in New York,

80
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.199
<v Speaker 2>if you block the box, you're going to pay. You

81
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.079
<v Speaker 2>are going to pay a hefty fine. And as a

82
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.360
<v Speaker 2>matter of fact, there are plenty of police officers. But

83
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>in Massachusetts and certainly in Boston. The administration wants to

84
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.720
<v Speaker 2>make it miserable in drivers, and we're stupid enough as

85
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.439
<v Speaker 2>drivers to make it miserable upon ourselves. So what I

86
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 2>want to do is I want to open up the

87
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 2>phone lines and ask you do you think we have

88
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 2>good drivers in message bad drivers? I think we have

89
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.959
<v Speaker 2>bad drivers. Because if you're sitting there and the light

90
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 2>turns green in the middle of the morning commute, what

91
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:14.319
<v Speaker 2>in God's name do you need to go forward? What

92
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.759
<v Speaker 2>are you doing in your car that when it turns

93
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:20.279
<v Speaker 2>green you don't see the green light? Why do you stop?

94
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.079
<v Speaker 2>Why do you delay? Okay? And of course the other

95
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 2>one is you're on Route nine somewhere and all of

96
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.759
<v Speaker 2>a sudden you hear in the distance a siren. Someone's

97
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 2>going to the hospital. It could be your mother, it

98
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.279
<v Speaker 2>could be your father, could be your brother, your sister.

99
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:39.279
<v Speaker 2>Would anyone like move through the intersection against a red

100
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 2>light to get out of the way of the ambulance,

101
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 2>to allow that poor person who's in the back of

102
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 2>the ambulance maybe they have a chance at life. No way,

103
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 2>no way, because even if there's nothing coming, they will

104
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.959
<v Speaker 2>sit there holding on to dear life, to that steering

105
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.560
<v Speaker 2>wheel and hoping that somehow the act the ambulance that's

106
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.759
<v Speaker 2>coming behind them will go up on the sidewalk somehow

107
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 2>and get around them. But will they take a right

108
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.120
<v Speaker 2>and get out of the way and maybe they may

109
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 2>have to like get them to work two or three

110
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.079
<v Speaker 2>minutes late. Nope, they're gonna sit there and they're gonna

111
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.319
<v Speaker 2>wait for that ambulance and they're gonna wait for the

112
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.480
<v Speaker 2>intershactions the light to turn green, and then still they'll

113
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.879
<v Speaker 2>hesitate going through. We are the worst drivers in America.

114
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.959
<v Speaker 2>We're selfish. All we care about is us getting through

115
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.120
<v Speaker 2>the light. We're not thinking about moving through the light

116
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.560
<v Speaker 2>as when it's safe. I don't want you to run

117
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.360
<v Speaker 2>through the light and get t boned. Move through the

118
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.199
<v Speaker 2>light when it turns green. Look both ways, just like

119
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.959
<v Speaker 2>your mother told you, get to the light and allow

120
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.240
<v Speaker 2>people behind you also to get to the light. That's

121
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.879
<v Speaker 2>my complaint, and I think that we're bad drivers because

122
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:52.680
<v Speaker 2>we're not aggressive enough when I say be aggressive. Don't

123
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.839
<v Speaker 2>be aggressive when the light's red. Oh no, no, be

124
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.160
<v Speaker 2>aggressive when the light turns green and it's time for

125
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.199
<v Speaker 2>you to go, because there's people be behind you who

126
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.360
<v Speaker 2>are probably honking their horn at you, and it's probably

127
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:08.160
<v Speaker 2>me six one seven, two, five, four ten thirty six

128
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:12.000
<v Speaker 2>one seven, nine thirty. Let's have at it. And if

129
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:16.160
<v Speaker 2>you disagree and you think that we're too aggressive, plot,

130
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.600
<v Speaker 2>feel free to bring it on. We're coming back on

131
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:19.759
<v Speaker 2>night Side right after this.

132
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

133
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.

134
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Get to the phones. Let us get to the phones.

135
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Going first up to Warren down to the South coast.

136
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:38.679
<v Speaker 2>Hey Warren, how are you tonight? Hey?

137
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:44.320
<v Speaker 3>Dan? Yeah, first off, Merry Christmas, Very Christmas to you,

138
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.559
<v Speaker 3>the best of the holidays. Yeah, I drive all over

139
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Rhode Island in Massachusetts. I've had two for my jobs.

140
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:59.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that I've had, and yeah, I've seen there is

141
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:04.440
<v Speaker 3>a reason why, you know, Massachusetts and Rhode Island are

142
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:08.240
<v Speaker 3>by far the worst drivers. And I think it's a

143
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:12.159
<v Speaker 3>lot to do with congestion. You know where like if

144
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:16.360
<v Speaker 3>you go into Boston, Boston was not made as a

145
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.879
<v Speaker 3>driving town. It was more of a horse and buggy

146
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:27.080
<v Speaker 3>walking around kind of city. And that really contributes to

147
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:33.000
<v Speaker 3>why it's, you know, the drivers so bad because it's

148
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:38.200
<v Speaker 3>so congested. I mean, in Fall River, you wouldn't believe

149
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:41.879
<v Speaker 3>what I see down there. I've seen literally the worst

150
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 3>kind of driving, you know, known the man. I've seen

151
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 3>people go wrong way on the one way, you know.

152
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:53.480
<v Speaker 3>I've seen you know, like I go through a couple

153
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.639
<v Speaker 3>traffic lights on the way on the way home. Yeah,

154
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 3>and I've seen people just blow right through you know,

155
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:02.559
<v Speaker 3>you know, you know kids on.

156
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:07.879
<v Speaker 2>These careful you got you, they don't stop.

157
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.720
<v Speaker 3>And I've seen people not stop, and I've seen really

158
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:14.000
<v Speaker 3>bad habits. One thing that drives me nuts is like

159
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.879
<v Speaker 3>if I'm driving on the highway and you get someone

160
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:22.639
<v Speaker 3>coming on to the highway, they don't increase seed like

161
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:25.440
<v Speaker 3>they're like they're driving like they're driving on a on

162
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.120
<v Speaker 3>a back country road somewhere, and they're doing thirty miles

163
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.840
<v Speaker 3>an hour and they don't increase seed. And so like

164
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.039
<v Speaker 3>if you're in the if you're in the right lane

165
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.840
<v Speaker 3>and you and you're doing you know, say sixty sixty five,

166
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.879
<v Speaker 3>you come up on them very very quickly, and you

167
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:45.159
<v Speaker 3>have to make a split second decision. God forbid, if

168
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.399
<v Speaker 3>you have a you know, a truck or a car

169
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.639
<v Speaker 3>on the side of you, Yeah, you know, I mean,

170
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.320
<v Speaker 3>that's I mean, I can I mean we can probably

171
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:56.200
<v Speaker 3>trade ripes, you know.

172
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 2>So, so would you agree with me that we're bad

173
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.360
<v Speaker 2>drivers because we're not aggressive enough? I mean I'm just.

174
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.799
<v Speaker 3>Saying yeah, I mean, yeah, there are there are a

175
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:10.000
<v Speaker 3>lot of very cautious people out there, like overly cautious.

176
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:15.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Paul River is pretty much an aging, you

177
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.799
<v Speaker 3>know community. There's a lot of elderly in there. So

178
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:24.720
<v Speaker 3>like if you get behind someone who is in their seventies,

179
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.840
<v Speaker 3>eighties or even nineties. I have a I have a

180
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:30.200
<v Speaker 3>neighbor who's in the in the in their nineties and

181
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:30.919
<v Speaker 3>they still arrive.

182
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:33.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you get.

183
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:36.200
<v Speaker 3>Behind them, and you know, you might be going down

184
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.080
<v Speaker 3>the road. It might take you. You know, it might

185
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.799
<v Speaker 3>take you five minutes when it took you a minute,

186
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 3>you know before to get down the road.

187
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:46.759
<v Speaker 5>So you know.

188
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:49.639
<v Speaker 6>So, but anyway, I get.

189
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.879
<v Speaker 2>There's there's a push. There's a push in Boston to

190
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:58.919
<v Speaker 2>basically you know, look, the mayor has decided that she

191
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:00.840
<v Speaker 2>wants to get cars out of the city.

192
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:01.919
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

193
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Bike lanes, oh yeah, bike lanes everywhere.

194
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:07.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

195
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.559
<v Speaker 3>The last the last couple of times I've been in

196
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.440
<v Speaker 3>Boston for a concerts and all stuff like that. I mean,

197
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:17.639
<v Speaker 3>I forget where it is, but there's like one concert

198
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:20.879
<v Speaker 3>hallway and there's literally a bike lane right in the

199
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:22.320
<v Speaker 3>middle of the middle of the road.

200
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:24.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And I was.

201
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Like, that's Ken that's Ken Moore Square. They've had that.

202
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.679
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't believe that. I was like, you gotta be

203
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:35.559
<v Speaker 3>kidneys on this. And then they.

204
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.360
<v Speaker 2>They're they're on a jihad. They're on ah. Of course

205
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:45.919
<v Speaker 2>in Boston, and the automobile people who rely on automobiles

206
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.080
<v Speaker 2>better wake the hell up because if they don't, they're

207
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:53.480
<v Speaker 2>going to find out that automobiles will soon be eliminated

208
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.480
<v Speaker 2>from Boston congestion.

209
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.559
<v Speaker 3>But I also think it's also bad planning. I mean,

210
00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:05.759
<v Speaker 3>there's a lot of questionable intersections in like in Boston,

211
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.519
<v Speaker 3>in the like in the cities like Providence is one

212
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.360
<v Speaker 3>where you know, there are some very questionable it's you know,

213
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:19.600
<v Speaker 3>you know place you know places where you know traffic

214
00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:22.600
<v Speaker 3>goes through, and you're kind of like, you know, why

215
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:23.799
<v Speaker 3>is this set up like this?

216
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.200
<v Speaker 2>You know? So I hear you Ward, thanks for getting

228
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:06.759
<v Speaker 7>It is bad, severely bad Massachusetts drivers, along with out

229
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:09.639
<v Speaker 7>of status. And believe me, I have seen it day

230
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:12.799
<v Speaker 7>in and day out, going to work or not. And

231
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:16.840
<v Speaker 7>regardless of what the city does, spending money going around

232
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.000
<v Speaker 7>putting up all these signs, it is the driver one,

233
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:26.399
<v Speaker 7>regardless what city, what telling you're in, regardless I sit

234
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.080
<v Speaker 7>behind cars, the light is green and nobody moves, and

235
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.679
<v Speaker 7>when you blow the morn or something, they look at

236
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:34.240
<v Speaker 7>you like.

237
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:35.240
<v Speaker 8>You're the wrong ones.

238
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:36.399
<v Speaker 7>You're the bad ones.

239
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.639
<v Speaker 2>Did you you're in culta that you have the audacity

240
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:42.559
<v Speaker 2>to wake people up. I know that. I know that.

241
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.799
<v Speaker 2>I know the look Mary, Believe me, I know the look.

242
00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:51.399
<v Speaker 7>I see them on the cell phones day in the

243
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.799
<v Speaker 7>hand in front of their face. We're in the minds

244
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:58.919
<v Speaker 7>who gave them the license. They don't see what in

245
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.080
<v Speaker 7>front of them. I don't care what signs you put

246
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:06.320
<v Speaker 7>up on anything. They don't see anything or anyone do

247
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.600
<v Speaker 7>eating sandwiches. They got the elbows on the steeling wheel,

248
00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:12.559
<v Speaker 7>and I'm told to pull it by the police. They

249
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:16.399
<v Speaker 7>have to witness this. They don't have enough to be everywhere,

250
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:18.960
<v Speaker 7>and they have to witness this. How do they have

251
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:21.159
<v Speaker 7>enough police officers.

252
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:21.679
<v Speaker 8>To witness all this?

253
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.399
<v Speaker 7>I complain to the police when I see something, I

254
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.960
<v Speaker 7>say something, Well, how are they gonna see that? How

255
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.840
<v Speaker 7>many of them get away with that and get go

256
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:35.639
<v Speaker 7>out and kill people? They're not the only ones on

257
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.399
<v Speaker 7>the road. What are they thinking?

258
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:39.240
<v Speaker 8>Who gave them the license?

259
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:43.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're not all. Mary. Thank you for joining us,

275
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:22.679
<v Speaker 9>I'm going with the flow.

276
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:26.080
<v Speaker 2>No, no, I'm with you on that. But you know what,

277
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.240
<v Speaker 2>what in September when they have Labor Day and you

278
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.600
<v Speaker 2>say goodbye, don't you say that people have a nice

279
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Labor Day and all of that, they don't say. I know,

280
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:39.279
<v Speaker 2>they say happy Labor Day. So I'm into like whatever

281
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:42.879
<v Speaker 2>you celebrate. If you celebrate Christmas, I want to. I

282
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.120
<v Speaker 2>want to wish you a very merry Christmas.

283
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:51.440
<v Speaker 9>Merry Christmas to you too, Thank you appreciate it. I drive, say,

284
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:56.039
<v Speaker 9>five six days a week, I'm a chauffeur and not

285
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.720
<v Speaker 9>seeing it all all happen all the time. These people,

286
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:05.759
<v Speaker 9>the way they drive. Reason why Massachusetts drivers are unsafe

287
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:09.279
<v Speaker 9>because of their ignorance of their drive and they do

288
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:13.000
<v Speaker 9>not follow the rules of the road. They constantly cause

289
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:16.720
<v Speaker 9>an accident but have a lot of road rage. Oh

290
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:21.079
<v Speaker 9>wait a minute, we also got illegal immigrants who now

291
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:22.440
<v Speaker 9>have licenses.

292
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.039
<v Speaker 4>That's another reason why.

293
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:29.920
<v Speaker 9>And it's just people just don't have respect for other

294
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.680
<v Speaker 9>human beings. They don't have respect for the law, they

295
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.480
<v Speaker 9>don't respect the rules of the road. They drive like

296
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:37.839
<v Speaker 9>they fit a rage and somebody doing the right thing,

297
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:40.599
<v Speaker 9>you know, it's like they honk the horns. It's just

298
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:42.960
<v Speaker 9>like exactly what you said, Dan, every time that light

299
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:45.440
<v Speaker 9>turns green, you're honk a horn and they look at

300
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:47.599
<v Speaker 9>you like what it's like, no move?

301
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:49.359
<v Speaker 3>Are you see minded?

302
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:51.880
<v Speaker 4>Green light means green, red.

303
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:54.680
<v Speaker 3>Means stop, you know, and then when they stop moving.

304
00:17:54.480 --> 00:18:02.799
<v Speaker 9>They they start driving. So I'm with you totally.

305
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:05.440
<v Speaker 2>This is exactly how what I believe. And I just

306
00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:07.880
<v Speaker 2>there comes to a point in time where you just say,

307
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:11.039
<v Speaker 2>what are you thinking? If look, if you're out at

308
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:16.440
<v Speaker 2>noontime on a Thursday. Okay, maybe you're you're you're retired,

309
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:19.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe you're unemployed, but if you're driving at nine o'clock

310
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:22.960
<v Speaker 2>on a Tuesday morning, I got to assume you're going

311
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:26.279
<v Speaker 2>to work or you're going somewhere. And why do you

312
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:27.720
<v Speaker 2>want to tie other people up?

313
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:31.359
<v Speaker 9>That's what it always gives exactly exactly, you know what

314
00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:34.079
<v Speaker 9>the things that people good at doing, Dan, they like

315
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:38.720
<v Speaker 9>to annoy people. Honest to god, I feel that Boston

316
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:43.119
<v Speaker 9>is an unhealthy city because it's just too much stressed,

317
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:46.640
<v Speaker 9>too much problems. People are just too how you say,

318
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:51.319
<v Speaker 9>traumatic and problematic and cause other people problems instead of

319
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:56.960
<v Speaker 9>respecting other people. But you know, but yes, I totally,

320
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.799
<v Speaker 9>totally agreed that Massachusetts definitely is is the number one

321
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:02.079
<v Speaker 9>of the worst drivers.

322
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.079
<v Speaker 2>A right, Chris. I appreciate the backup and the support. Tonight.

323
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.079
<v Speaker 2>You call my show anytime. I like you.

324
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.000
<v Speaker 4>Okay, God you take care, Dan.

325
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:13.799
<v Speaker 2>Thanks man, Merry Christmas. Right back at you. Talk to

326
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.799
<v Speaker 2>you soon, Eric, you too, Thank you, all right, thank

327
00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:18.680
<v Speaker 2>you much. We take quick break at the news at

328
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:20.880
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the hour. I have one line in

329
00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:23.279
<v Speaker 2>six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty one line

330
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:27.240
<v Speaker 2>and six one, seven, nine, ten thirty. Let's light them up.

331
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:30.279
<v Speaker 2>Were the worst drivers? I think we are, but not

332
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:33.599
<v Speaker 2>because of what the statistics show. I think we're the

333
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:37.119
<v Speaker 2>worst drivers because we're not aggressive enough. I don't want

334
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:40.000
<v Speaker 2>you running red lights. But when the damn light turns green,

335
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:43.200
<v Speaker 2>step on it, look both ways and step on it.

336
00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:45.559
<v Speaker 2>Simple as that. We'll be back on night Side right

337
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:46.000
<v Speaker 2>after this.

338
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:52.880
<v Speaker 1>You're on night Side with Dan Ray on w B

339
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Boston's news radio.

340
00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:58.759
<v Speaker 2>Back to the call as we go here, as we

341
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:03.039
<v Speaker 2>work our way through Tuesday night, Craig, Craig your next time. Hi,

342
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:05.240
<v Speaker 2>welcome evening.

343
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:08.519
<v Speaker 5>I want to say, Ohio, driving, I'm sure it's nothing

344
00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:13.240
<v Speaker 5>compared to Boston's, but uh a lot. Once a week,

345
00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:16.400
<v Speaker 5>maybe I'll pull up behind someone and you know, the

346
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:19.799
<v Speaker 5>red light turns the green and they're sitting there and

347
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:24.480
<v Speaker 5>it's it's called consideration. They're on the stinking cell phone.

348
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and.

349
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:29.960
<v Speaker 5>You know it's uh, you know, like I had to

350
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.319
<v Speaker 5>go in to Columbus this morning. I take veterans to

351
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.799
<v Speaker 5>their doctor's appointments over there. But I just see, you know,

352
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:42.559
<v Speaker 5>there's three lanes, break lights, put on your turn signal

353
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:46.319
<v Speaker 5>when you have to get over the eggs relatively easy.

354
00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:48.880
<v Speaker 5>And you know, if you're in a rush to get

355
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.200
<v Speaker 5>to work, if you're not fifteen minutes early, your late

356
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.200
<v Speaker 5>dude taught her into it, you know, just leave earlier.

357
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:00.960
<v Speaker 5>And as far as the Merry Christmas, I drop out

358
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:04.640
<v Speaker 5>a Christmas card to my boss to eight Ria said

359
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:07.440
<v Speaker 5>Merry Christmas. Not go ahead. He looked at it. I

360
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:11.640
<v Speaker 5>said I could have been woke and said happy Holidays,

361
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:14.119
<v Speaker 5>Love Craig. He goes, no, this is met.

362
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I'm happy that Merry Christmas is making a comeback.

363
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:26.720
<v Speaker 5>For sure, But uh, good luck with boss and driving Danah.

364
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:31.319
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you it's it's a losing battle there there.

365
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:36.319
<v Speaker 2>They need to be a little bit more considerate. It's

366
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:38.240
<v Speaker 2>as simple as that. I would argue a little bit

367
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:42.599
<v Speaker 2>more aggressive. Thank you, Craig, always great to your voice.

368
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Thanks man, talk.

369
00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:46.519
<v Speaker 5>Soon, Take care now, all right?

370
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:50.839
<v Speaker 2>Six seven, four thirty, triple eight nine to nine, ten thirty.

371
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Let me go down to sand in tone to Dave

372
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:55.920
<v Speaker 2>and sand in tone. Dave, how are you, sir?

373
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.799
<v Speaker 4>It got to disagree with you, Dan. I agree that

374
00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:06.920
<v Speaker 4>you're driving. There is really can nerve wrecking, but it's

375
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:09.720
<v Speaker 4>not near as deadly as what's down here.

376
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:10.240
<v Speaker 6>Dan.

377
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:14.519
<v Speaker 4>They don't have a steep speed limit. There is no speed.

378
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Lift car accidents every year in Texas.

379
00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:24.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there is no speed limit. Then there is none.

380
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:28.240
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't I can't believe. I say my prayers every

381
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:30.039
<v Speaker 4>time I get out in the dark car with my door.

382
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:34.440
<v Speaker 2>There's no speed limit anyway. There's no speed limit anywhere

383
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:36.519
<v Speaker 2>or when you get out of the open road.

384
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:42.440
<v Speaker 4>Just about close to the city, not the open road,

385
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:48.799
<v Speaker 4>but on these six lane highways, six lanes on each side. Hey, yu,

386
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.599
<v Speaker 4>and these cars go by you like you're standards still

387
00:22:52.599 --> 00:23:02.519
<v Speaker 4>and you're doing the speed limit of seventy five. Really yeah, interesting, interesting,

388
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:08.440
<v Speaker 4>it's it's really frightening being on these highways, folks. Folks

389
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:11.759
<v Speaker 4>and Texas are used to it, but I'm not. I'm

390
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.240
<v Speaker 4>used to like you are making the people go in

391
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:16.440
<v Speaker 4>the red light or something.

392
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:21.480
<v Speaker 2>But well, that's that's the thing that's really frustrating is

393
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:24.920
<v Speaker 2>that you're sitting in a light. You're seven or eight

394
00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:27.720
<v Speaker 2>cars back, you know how long the light is, and

395
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:29.519
<v Speaker 2>you say to yourself, look, all they want to do

396
00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:33.599
<v Speaker 2>is just get through this light, because but yeah, they

397
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:36.240
<v Speaker 2>sit there, they don't move and as they say, even

398
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:39.119
<v Speaker 2>when ambulance is coming up from behind him there, they're

399
00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:43.119
<v Speaker 2>frozen in fear. David, I don't know. We are the

400
00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:46.279
<v Speaker 2>worst drivers in America in my opinion. In my opinion,

401
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:46.759
<v Speaker 2>we'll see.

402
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:50.319
<v Speaker 4>My wife drove for a little while down here when

403
00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:53.480
<v Speaker 4>they went fire like that, she yelling at the male's

404
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:54.680
<v Speaker 4>only half full.

405
00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:57.759
<v Speaker 2>I like that.

406
00:23:58.160 --> 00:23:58.680
<v Speaker 6>I like that.

407
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:02.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, pal, you be careful down there. We want

408
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:03.680
<v Speaker 2>to lose. Don't want to lose you.

409
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:08.480
<v Speaker 4>Okay, yeah, yeah, I made my daughter put a rosary

410
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:11.160
<v Speaker 4>on her window corner rear view.

411
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:16.519
<v Speaker 2>Whatever works, whatever works. I believe in that stuff. Okay,

412
00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:19.279
<v Speaker 2>thanks Dave, we talk soon. Good night, have a great one.

413
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Let me go next to Phil a little closer to home.

414
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Phil is in wrinth Them. I know we're rinth Them?

415
00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:27.079
<v Speaker 2>Is Phil your next night side? What do you think?

416
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:28.079
<v Speaker 3>You know?

417
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Dad?

418
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:30.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I do agree with you that we have the

419
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.680
<v Speaker 4>worst drivers in America. I don't agree that we're too

420
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:37.599
<v Speaker 4>we need to be more aggressive. I think we're too

421
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:42.720
<v Speaker 4>aggressive period. But at lights, which is lazy, we're just distracted,

422
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:45.480
<v Speaker 4>We're we're not paying attention. And then when somebody gives

423
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:48.359
<v Speaker 4>us a little two you know, you know, give me

424
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:50.279
<v Speaker 4>a give a little people in your horn, you know, hey,

425
00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:52.799
<v Speaker 4>get moving. They look at you like the other guys

426
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:54.759
<v Speaker 4>you know on the radio sets. They look at you like,

427
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.880
<v Speaker 4>what are you at? Suirp, Come on, let's go. It's

428
00:24:57.920 --> 00:24:59.160
<v Speaker 4>it's a green light, you know.

429
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't want anybody to blow through an intersection, But

430
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:06.160
<v Speaker 2>it seems to me that if you sit there and

431
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:09.599
<v Speaker 2>you realize that the traffic on the in the in

432
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:15.039
<v Speaker 2>the intersection is not going through, just go. The light's green.

433
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Why did you go? You're going to get through the intersection,

434
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 2>But why don't you get through the intersection so that

435
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:23.079
<v Speaker 2>a few more people can get through it? That's that's

436
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:25.240
<v Speaker 2>really the point I'm trying to make. I think when

437
00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:28.160
<v Speaker 2>you say we're selfish, I think we are selfish as drivers.

438
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:31.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I agree with you on that. I mean I

439
00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:33.759
<v Speaker 4>drive a track of trail through, wasn't it. And I'm

440
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:36.119
<v Speaker 4>taking an early retirement because I just don't want to

441
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:38.640
<v Speaker 4>be on the road anymore. There's so many crazy It

442
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:40.559
<v Speaker 4>doesn't matter what time of day or night. It could

443
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:43.079
<v Speaker 4>be two three in the morning and people will just

444
00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:45.079
<v Speaker 4>that they're bored and they want to cut in front

445
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.480
<v Speaker 4>of you, you know, break check you. You know, I

446
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:50.440
<v Speaker 4>don't know if they just have anger issues and they

447
00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:52.519
<v Speaker 4>want to, you know, just make other people angry because

448
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:54.880
<v Speaker 4>they're angry. And then you got the people who don't

449
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:57.039
<v Speaker 4>know what the yield sign means and they either just

450
00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:00.000
<v Speaker 4>come on to the highway at a regular speed expect

451
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.359
<v Speaker 4>you to slow down or move over for them, you know.

452
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:05.480
<v Speaker 4>I mean, if you want to get in funny, fine,

453
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:07.559
<v Speaker 4>but just put your foot on the gas pedal and go.

454
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:11.240
<v Speaker 4>It's as simple as that. But no, oh, come to somebody,

455
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:12.440
<v Speaker 4>I think I'll do things.

456
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Don't mess around with don't mess around to people. Run

457
00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:18.599
<v Speaker 2>the big rigs. I mean, come on, they're out there

458
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:24.599
<v Speaker 2>making sure that there's food and supplies and in grocery stores.

459
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:27.799
<v Speaker 2>H make their life a little easier. It's as simple

460
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:29.599
<v Speaker 2>as that. I have a lot of symph get people

461
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:32.440
<v Speaker 2>who drive big rigs because I know I couldn't do it.

462
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:34.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, I agree with you, but I mean,

463
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:37.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, you're hauling forty tons of goods behind you.

464
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:39.720
<v Speaker 4>Cannot stop on a dime, you know, I mean, and

465
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:42.359
<v Speaker 4>it takes you forever to accelerate when they slow you down,

466
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:45.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, And it's like the trucks won't go more

467
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:47.880
<v Speaker 4>than say sixty eight miles an hour anyways. You know,

468
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:50.279
<v Speaker 4>it's a safety thing. But you know, I try to

469
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:52.000
<v Speaker 4>be as considerate as I can on the road for

470
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:54.359
<v Speaker 4>other people. But I think when they see some people,

471
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:57.680
<v Speaker 4>when they see a truck, it's like, oh, here we go.

472
00:26:58.039 --> 00:27:01.720
<v Speaker 4>Tend to play some games. I mean, yeah, I'm just exaggerating,

473
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:02.920
<v Speaker 4>but that's what it seems like.

474
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I think you're right. I think again, we are selfish

475
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:10.000
<v Speaker 2>and it exhibits itself in a number of ways, a

476
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:14.200
<v Speaker 2>number of characterizations. I agree with you as always. Phil,

477
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much for calling an interesting perspective. Thanks

478
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:17.279
<v Speaker 2>so much.

479
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:19.880
<v Speaker 4>Thanks Thanks having me bight too soon.

480
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's keep rolling here. Let me get one we're in.

481
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Don't want to tie people up before the break. Where

482
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:28.359
<v Speaker 2>will we go next? Let's go to Angelo in Angelo,

483
00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:29.559
<v Speaker 2>you are next on nightside.

484
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:32.200
<v Speaker 6>Go ahead, sir, Hello Dan Ray.

485
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:35.640
<v Speaker 8>I agree with you one hundred percent. There's too many

486
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:39.559
<v Speaker 8>distracted drivers. I've been sitting in red lights and I

487
00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:43.519
<v Speaker 8>see people looking at their phones, eating their phones, or

488
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:47.200
<v Speaker 8>reading a book and not paying attention. One time, I

489
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.319
<v Speaker 8>was sitting in lights. Okay, there was a line of

490
00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:50.920
<v Speaker 8>cars in front of me, and the cars that were

491
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:54.799
<v Speaker 8>in front of that cor already taken off and before

492
00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:56.599
<v Speaker 8>that cat, you blow the end before.

493
00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:57.440
<v Speaker 4>They even got to the red light.

494
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:01.920
<v Speaker 8>The red light has already changed. It's unbelievable. And I

495
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:03.880
<v Speaker 8>don't know if you know, I knew the Center Square.

496
00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:08.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm very familiar with Newton said yes, what do you

497
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:10.000
<v Speaker 2>want to say about him?

498
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:14.319
<v Speaker 8>And believe me, I've seen old people walk through there

499
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:17.480
<v Speaker 8>with the walks signs of the blinking light. And it

500
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:20.240
<v Speaker 8>was an old guy walking across the street and there

501
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:22.680
<v Speaker 8>was a car that came flying right by him. It

502
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.599
<v Speaker 8>did not even slow down. What's the matter with people lately?

503
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:29.759
<v Speaker 8>I can't believe what I'm seeing lately. I'm seeing a

504
00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:32.319
<v Speaker 8>police officer and then mode of the road with his

505
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:35.039
<v Speaker 8>hands with his arms out. The cod's just gonna read

506
00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:37.160
<v Speaker 8>by him like they were ignoring him.

507
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I said, what a mistake that that can be

508
00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:44.400
<v Speaker 2>a big mistake.

509
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:48.240
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, And I said, it's a policeman. He's laughing, I mean,

510
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:48.599
<v Speaker 8>and they.

511
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:50.119
<v Speaker 4>Said, he says, yeah, you know what it is.

512
00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:51.200
<v Speaker 6>It's all in their heads.

513
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:55.160
<v Speaker 8>They're not paying attention what they're doing. And I had

514
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:57.599
<v Speaker 8>to say it. I'm a CBL driver and I'm a

515
00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:00.400
<v Speaker 8>nice driver, but I can't believe what I see. And

516
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.400
<v Speaker 8>one time I stopped from an elderly person to walk

517
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.119
<v Speaker 8>across the walk, and you know, the truck seems up high.

518
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:09.680
<v Speaker 8>So she was walking around the truck and I said,

519
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:13.359
<v Speaker 8>this lady better turn her head to the left. And

520
00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:17.000
<v Speaker 8>if she did it, I said, something's gonna happen that

521
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:18.799
<v Speaker 8>I didn't want want to see in front of my face.

522
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:21.599
<v Speaker 8>And this car flew right by me. And thank god

523
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:22.599
<v Speaker 8>that the lady saw that.

524
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:24.440
<v Speaker 6>She back backed up right away.

525
00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:28.079
<v Speaker 8>I said, what is going along with people? Off them?

526
00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:31.319
<v Speaker 8>There's no respect to nothing in the road. And I

527
00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:34.319
<v Speaker 8>could tell you so much I've seen elderly people even

528
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:37.200
<v Speaker 8>I said, I went across the center once I put

529
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:39.200
<v Speaker 8>the blank and lights on, the old lady were flying

530
00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:41.759
<v Speaker 8>right by me. Did not even stop. And that was

531
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:51.960
<v Speaker 8>the whole person. I says, Wow, what.

532
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:51.880
<v Speaker 2>A bunch of a bunch of problems, A bunch of

533
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:57.279
<v Speaker 2>problems here, oh driver, Yeah, okay, how long you've been

534
00:29:57.319 --> 00:29:57.880
<v Speaker 2>driving truck?

535
00:29:59.559 --> 00:29:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

536
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:02.599

<v Speaker 6>Well had you?

<v Speaker 2>And hopefully people will be a little more polite to

540
00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:12.160
<v Speaker 2>the truck drivers because you guys provide all the groceries

541
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:13.319
<v Speaker 2>that that we need.

542
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:16.759
<v Speaker 8>A grocery and people and people don't realize it though,

543
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:19.440
<v Speaker 8>because of the truck coming down the street and they

544
00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:22.240
<v Speaker 8>they don't realize that that truck can stop like they

545
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:24.759
<v Speaker 8>can and a dime. And then you go out on

00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, go ahead, Uh.

564
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:21.119
<v Speaker 4>Enjoy your topics? Has every night as.

565
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:24.279
<v Speaker 2>I tang in every name. I appreciate that.

566
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:29.640
<v Speaker 4>But I'm going to preface my remarks with a quote,

567
00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:41.240
<v Speaker 4>there are no problems. There are only unrealized solutions. Okay,

568
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:50.279
<v Speaker 4>so well, let's let's go into it. As far as

569
00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:53.839
<v Speaker 4>the eighteen wheelers that are out there, the twelve, the

570
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:57.359
<v Speaker 4>twelve wheelers, the you know, these guys that are out

571
00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:02.920
<v Speaker 4>there making our lives work. I have said for decades

572
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:09.440
<v Speaker 4>there should be uh a national at the government level

573
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:13.960
<v Speaker 4>that these trucks should have strobe lights on them to

574
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:20.279
<v Speaker 4>start flashing green. And what that means is everybody back up.

575
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:23.599
<v Speaker 4>Let this man do what he needs to do with

576
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:28.079
<v Speaker 4>men and women. These guys are operating. These guys are operating.

577
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:33.359
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't drive an eighteener. I just couldn't handle the

578
00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:37.119
<v Speaker 4>the the the stress of the us.

579
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:41.160
<v Speaker 2>So do you think guy drivers are too aggressive, not

580
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:43.119
<v Speaker 2>aggressive enough, or just right.

581
00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:50.200
<v Speaker 4>They're uninformed. Now, Dan, let's go to the day where

582
00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:54.799
<v Speaker 4>we are every so every every person that's out there

583
00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:59.680
<v Speaker 4>driving has a cell phone. And what if we were

584
00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:05.799
<v Speaker 4>to imply that you have to have a driver's app on. Now,

585
00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:09.680
<v Speaker 4>the driver's app. As we're driving along, all the cell

586
00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:13.200
<v Speaker 4>phones would be communicating. So you're sitting in line waiting

587
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:16.759
<v Speaker 4>for the light to change. Now the cell phone is

588
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:19.400
<v Speaker 4>going to be triggered that, Hey, the light is going

589
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:21.319
<v Speaker 4>to change, So you're going to get a ding ding ding,

590
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:25.960
<v Speaker 4>get ready to take off, Dan, there are so many

591
00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:30.039
<v Speaker 4>unrealized solutions. That's my point.

592
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:33.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think that's a good point. Let's see if

593
00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:35.680
<v Speaker 2>other people want to react to it. Okay, thanks, Jack,

594
00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:39.319
<v Speaker 2>appreciate your call. Have a great night. All right, we're

595
00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:41.400
<v Speaker 2>going to go next to get rid of Jack. Let's

596
00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:44.039
<v Speaker 2>keep rolling here, going next to Matt and Bright Matt.

597
00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:45.599
<v Speaker 2>You're next to Night Saga. Right ahead.

598
00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:48.119
<v Speaker 10>Hey, hey, Dan, how are you going?

599
00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:49.839
<v Speaker 2>We're doing great?

600
00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:53.640
<v Speaker 10>Go ahead, all right. So here's how I'll take it.

601
00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:59.799
<v Speaker 10>I think that every state has issues with driving and

602
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:05.559
<v Speaker 10>you know, being distracted. Now, when it comes to some

603
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:07.960
<v Speaker 10>of the things I heard before with cell phones and

604
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:13.440
<v Speaker 10>stuff like that. Obviously I can't compare it to but

605
00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:15.920
<v Speaker 10>I am a huge proponent that you don't have a

606
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:19.360
<v Speaker 10>drink and drive. You can wait for that text message.

607
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:24.480
<v Speaker 10>And although people may do that when you're holding up

608
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:28.679
<v Speaker 10>traffic and you're holding up other people, or you're doing

609
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:34.079
<v Speaker 10>something that's going against the irregularity of focusing on the road,

610
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:38.920
<v Speaker 10>you're putting other people's lives or something of that sort

611
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:44.519
<v Speaker 10>on some level of risk. Now shmative troops is be

612
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:51.480
<v Speaker 10>considered because of that the worst or most obnoxious. That's

613
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.079
<v Speaker 10>you know, I guess in the I had to be

614
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:55.400
<v Speaker 10>a holder then there might be a high risk of that.

615
00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I think met that the survey that News

616
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:03.360
<v Speaker 2>we had done was pretty good in terms of valves

617
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:09.119
<v Speaker 2>between men and women, young and old. Uh, suburban versus

618
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:12.280
<v Speaker 2>urban and rural. It seems to me like they're trying

619
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:16.199
<v Speaker 2>their best in this poll. And again, uh, you know,

620
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:20.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't necessarily agree with it, but they essentially say that, yeah,

621
00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:23.519
<v Speaker 2>we got a problem in Massachusetts, Matt, I gotta get

622
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:25.079
<v Speaker 2>a couple more roots. I'm gonna let you run.

623
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:26.920
<v Speaker 6>Okay, thank you man for no I hear, yeah, I

624
00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:27.199
<v Speaker 6>hear you.

625
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:29.360
<v Speaker 8>I just hear it the last not say quickly.

626
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I gotta go, Matt, I gotta go, Thank you, Glad, Glen.

627
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:35.000
<v Speaker 2>It gets in here. I got less than a minute

628
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:37.480
<v Speaker 2>for I hated this, but there's four people behind you,

629
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.280
<v Speaker 2>and you're gonna got about fifteen seconds. Go ahead.

630
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:43.079
<v Speaker 6>Well, I was gonna kill two birds with one stone.

631
00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:46.840
<v Speaker 6>This is what crime is, my gears, that's one bird.

632
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:50.679
<v Speaker 6>Now I speak English, I don't speak car horn ease.

633
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:53.920
<v Speaker 6>And people they see that I've got my cane, they

634
00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:56.800
<v Speaker 6>should know that I'm a blind person. Don't beep their home.

635
00:35:57.079 --> 00:35:59.239
<v Speaker 2>Let me do this. I sure change here a couple.

636
00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:01.159
<v Speaker 2>Call back to one and we'll deal with this in

637
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:03.760
<v Speaker 2>something like, Okay, I'm flat out of it.

638
00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:05.400
<v Speaker 6>Can I call it? What time? I mean?

639
00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Rob will tell you. Okay, Glenn, I gotta go. Everybody,

640
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:12.400
<v Speaker 2>I've done Rob Brooks, great job, Maritea a great job.

641
00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:16.320
<v Speaker 2>When midnight comes, folks, it comes. How much time I

642
00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:19.920
<v Speaker 2>got here? Rob? Oh, I thought you said one minute.

643
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:23.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, Let's put Glenn

644
00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:25.880
<v Speaker 2>back on. Glenn. I thought he said one minute. Go ahead?

645
00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:30.960
<v Speaker 6>All right? Yeah, I know like I'm trying to cross

646
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:36.119
<v Speaker 6>the street and They're like beeping, little beeps, big loud

647
00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:38.960
<v Speaker 6>horned beaps. Does that mean go? Does that mean move

648
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:39.400
<v Speaker 6>to down?

649
00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:40.039
<v Speaker 4>Jerk?

650
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:42.360
<v Speaker 6>Does that mean we hold on? I'm coming. I mean,

651
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:45.599
<v Speaker 6>I don't know what car Hornese means. I speak English,

652
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:50.000
<v Speaker 6>not car Hornese. And it's like, you know, we'll say

653
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:52.280
<v Speaker 6>once in a while to go go go, and I'm like,

654
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:54.760
<v Speaker 6>well I'm waiting for help, go go, and I fin

655
00:36:56.360 --> 00:36:59.239
<v Speaker 6>they don't go the extra mile, and well nobody does

656
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:02.719
<v Speaker 6>that anymore. Flap soured on humanity. I mean, it's just

657
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:06.639
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if it's just very frustrating. It's not

658
00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:09.880
<v Speaker 6>like it was fifty years ago, you know, when someone

659
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:11.920
<v Speaker 6>would actually get out of a car and say take

660
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:14.000
<v Speaker 6>my arm, that could I go to a base?

661
00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:17.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think that it's up to the pedestrians to

662
00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:23.079
<v Speaker 2>basically guide you a little bit. You're you're a disadvantage

663
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:25.440
<v Speaker 2>clearly as you're trying to cross the street, and people

664
00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:28.920
<v Speaker 2>should be more considerate civil as that. Glad I appreciate

665
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:31.239
<v Speaker 2>it and bring in a different perspective as always. Sorry

666
00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:34.679
<v Speaker 2>I misread Rob. I thought he said one, yeah, gotta go,

667
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. All right, I'm gonna try to help other

668
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:39.599
<v Speaker 2>people in here, get them in as well. Chris in

669
00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Eastbridge Water, Chris, go right.

670
00:37:41.199 --> 00:37:46.159
<v Speaker 11>Ahead, Yes, shootings quick Dan first, Merry Christmas.

671
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Merry Christmas to you, Chris.

672
00:37:50.199 --> 00:37:52.840
<v Speaker 11>Number two, all zero one on one, quick thing. And

673
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:55.320
<v Speaker 11>I see this all the time. People who cut into fuel.

674
00:37:55.760 --> 00:38:01.039
<v Speaker 11>Funeral processions gotta be drawn and quartered. Did I remember

675
00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:03.480
<v Speaker 11>where I was in one three years ago? Somebody almost

676
00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:06.119
<v Speaker 11>took the side off my truck cutting in and then

677
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:08.840
<v Speaker 11>beat the laid on their horn at me when we

678
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:11.280
<v Speaker 11>were at a stoplight. I just rolled down the window,

679
00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:14.079
<v Speaker 11>showed them a funeral tag and yelled at them. And

680
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:16.960
<v Speaker 11>it was a funeral procession, I said a couple of

681
00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:17.280
<v Speaker 11>other things.

682
00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:22.280
<v Speaker 2>It's impossible to me to realize that there are people

683
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:26.320
<v Speaker 2>who want to ignore funeral processions.

684
00:38:26.639 --> 00:38:29.320
<v Speaker 11>And get mad at you because they did something wrong.

685
00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:31.159
<v Speaker 11>They should put a cop at the back of O's

686
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:33.199
<v Speaker 11>and they would probably make a fortune writing tickets.

687
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:37.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you. I'm with you, good call. Thanks Chris.

688
00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:38.639
<v Speaker 2>Got to keep going here.

689
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:42.920
<v Speaker 4>Okay, thank you much, take care of happy holiday.

690
00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Save you Merry Christmas. Okay. Uh. John is in New Hampshire.

691
00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:47.639
<v Speaker 2>What do we get left?

692
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:47.880
<v Speaker 6>Rob?

693
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:50.960
<v Speaker 2>About a minute and a half. Okay, John, want to

694
00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:52.679
<v Speaker 2>take care of you. Go ahead, John, your next.

695
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:56.519
<v Speaker 12>Thanks Dan, Merry Christmas, and I thank you how you

696
00:38:56.559 --> 00:38:59.159
<v Speaker 12>are on your show with a thank you my dog

697
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:03.880
<v Speaker 12>I past eight years ago this past August. But I

698
00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:06.159
<v Speaker 12>disagree with you. I think you guys are to address

699
00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:09.000
<v Speaker 12>of down there. I grew up in Massachusetts, and as

700
00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:11.760
<v Speaker 12>soon as you cross that state line, there's someone within

701
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:15.320
<v Speaker 12>a second behind you. Everyone is in a rush, just

702
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:17.920
<v Speaker 12>like you're saying, if you don't go through that light

703
00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:19.559
<v Speaker 12>too fast, someone's gonna beep.

704
00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Saying if you're at the head, John, I'm just saying,

705
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:26.599
<v Speaker 2>if you're at the head of the line and a

706
00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:30.280
<v Speaker 2>truds green, why not just go through the light?

707
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:30.960
<v Speaker 6>Mean what?

708
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:33.719
<v Speaker 12>Because I'm gonna do the first thing you're taught when

709
00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:35.280
<v Speaker 12>you when I was send out of the house, stand

710
00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:37.480
<v Speaker 12>is you look both ways before you cross the road

711
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:38.519
<v Speaker 12>because you've already.

712
00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:40.159
<v Speaker 2>Wants to take How long does it take you to

713
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:41.039
<v Speaker 2>look both ways?

714
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:44.280
<v Speaker 12>Two seconds? Second? One second?

715
00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:44.480
<v Speaker 6>Two?

716
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:49.079
<v Speaker 12>But I understand with it. And that's the other thing, Massachusetts.

717
00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:50.599
<v Speaker 12>I don't think you guys are the worst drivers. I've

718
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:53.400
<v Speaker 12>driven cross country on I seventy three times, coming back

719
00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:56.800
<v Speaker 12>I eighty three times. Connecticut is the worst drivers, and

720
00:39:56.840 --> 00:39:59.639
<v Speaker 12>I'll tell you why. Same thing as Massachusetts, small roads

721
00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:00.519
<v Speaker 12>to any people.

722
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:03.320
<v Speaker 2>All Right, Okay, you got the final word in John,

723
00:40:03.360 --> 00:40:05.000
<v Speaker 2>but we're done for the night, so I gotta let
