Worthless Agression

So today I'm walking home from school. I'm waiting at the traffic light and this lady (probably early 20's), was listening to her music in her Galant real load and was shakin left and right causing the whole car to shake. So the light turns green and an Alero behind her honks, she mashes the bedal and so does the person in the Alero. Patience is not one of the virtues in this city. They accelerate for probably 2 blocks or so, and mash the brakes, and almost hit. What was stopping them? How about a nice big NYTA public bus!

I'm guessing NYTA means New York Transit Authority?

I HATE driving in big cities for that reason. Too damned stressful.

Hey, for you guys in NYC or LI, do you get tailgated or do you do the tailgating? I usually encouter that on Meadowbrook, sometimes the LIE in NY area, oh, have any of tried driving on the Grand Central around Laguardia area just before or just after rush our? Or the FDR? Got some crazy tailgating there!

You new to NYC or somethin?
Tailgatin on the Long Island Expressway is normal.
I usually take local though, cuz I'm in North Bergen NJ across the Hudson from NYC)and go through the Lincoln to get to the city.
So, never really experienced much highway tailgating.
But everytime I hit the LIE during rushhour, tailgatin asses off.

I've only been lived in NYC for 2 years....before I lived in Maryland.
And last week when I came back to Maryland for a family reunion and drove my cousins home, they complained bout my tailgating and rough driving. Is that so bad? I was only going say about, 80ish or 90 on a 65 and they complain, and then beef about me popping the horn when a guy cuts me off. I can't believe it.

No, Mr. Bergen, I'm not new to NYC. Been here all my life. You dont think tailgating gets bad in NYC? It does get normal to follow about a car's length, but sometimes it gets ridiculous. It's also hard to compare NYC style driving to any other place.
