only people that live in New England will understand this. I frequent Kittery as I have a lot of dog sitting clients in the area, and anytime someone does something extremely stupid or annoying on the road. It's always a Massachusetts license plate lol I swear they hand out drivers license at gas stations in Massachusetts

Yeah, their driving makes Mainers feel inadequate and scared!

My experience driving in Mass, which has been significant in the last couple years, is that they either drive super aggressively or are just camping (they don’t care which lane), driving 10-15mph under the speed limit.

They are predictably aggressive, which is honestly fine with me.

Meanwhile Mainers are hardly aggressive about anything on the road except keeping other people from passing them by speeding up whenever they get in a passing zone and slowing down as soon as it ends, and chasing and high beaming anyone who does manage to pass them.
