I live in NH and occasionally drive in VT, and we get a LOT of Bad Drivers [TM] from Quebec and Massachusetts on our highways. What's worse is the sheer amount of OUR drivers getting corrupted by the Mass guys in the south.
As in, Speed limits are not common sense RULES that give a roughly useful max speed allowing for the oldest cars regularly on the road with crappy tires and brakes to y'know actually STOP... but rather a MINIMUM speed for Autobahn-like driving.
*Drives posted Speed limit, constantly gets passed by blurs breaking 30 miles over the limit*
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
