TTQ B4U Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 That's actually very light traffic on all counts. They need to pick something closer to Times Square during the 11:30am to 2pm time frame. I worked there for years and can say that driving in NYC on a regular basis has sharpened my awareness and ability greatly. I equate doing it on a regular basis for 3 years > than all my years of driving together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xyster101 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Cyclists are nuts, but so are motorbikes. They lane split all the time! I have been on a motorcycle, sports car, and my truck with a trailer through NYC many times. You learn quick not to drive and pay attention. No chatting on your cell driving those streets.

I equate doing it on a regular basis for 3 years > than all my years of driving together.I drove for a year in NYC, then two in San Fran (=NYC) then 3 in LA (NYCx4) back to back. I wouldn't say I was a better driver for it, just a bigger asshole. Luckily 10yrs back in the midwest has cured maybe 50% of that... ....Thank god I took a pass on Boston. Boston is worse than any other country in the US combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
