I've Driven In Boston...




Boston, Massachusetts, that is. I've seen a cabbie do a U-turn on Mass Ave., across four lanes of traffic, from a standing stop at the curb. During rush hour. If this guy was driving in Boston instead of Tbilisi, he'd have a guy riding six inches from his bumper, laying on the horn with one hand while eating a crueller with the other, steering with his knees, and yelling SLOWPOKE out the window at him.

Indeed. Even today, after near 20 years gone, get my wife on Storrow Drive at 5:00 and tell her she has to be at Cabot's in Newton in 10 minutes, and she'd leave this guy in the dust. I should know. I've seen her do it.

hasn't he ever watched those Russian dash cam video's? There's a parked truck everytime you try to pass on the right.
I find the older I get, the more conservatively I drive.
sigh. I wish I had my youthful idealism and invincibility back.

I could be wrong, but I think he might be flirting with illegality here.

That is some fine cabmanship!
