Is it just the harddodging staff, or are Boston drivers much more lunatic about running red lights these days?
It’s not even a close call – cars that are hundreds of feet away routinely bust red lights without a second thought.
Granted, the traffic lights in the Boston area have clearly been timed by Joe Cocker.
Regardless, how about a Scared Straight on Red program in Boston public schools?
Can we get a witness?

Is that a “behind the beat” joke? Very good.
Try this:
If it is you in the crosswalk, John, it is Beat the Press!
I tell out-of-state visitors that red lights are viewed by Mass. drivers merely as “suggestions”. As for “right turn on red”–no need to stop: just take your foot off the gas and coast while making the turn, that’s considered “good enough”.
“cars that are hundreds of feet away routinely bust red lights”???
You always exaggerate.
Really, Mike? You been out of doors lately?
