    Haven't been to California, Texas, Mississippi, Florida, Ohio, Georgia, etc etc. Hell some of the people in Wyoming are downright insane when it comes to driving. You haven't seen anything yet.

    ! While you may have no problem running nyc (as I do too) you have to admit we face a much higher chance of hitting something or getting into an accident

    In a way, but you do in Chicago as well, Boston, etc. any big tight city like that. NYC does have it's own challenges, but most of us who've run the 5 boroughs actually kind of enjoy it. We are weird that way.......

    It's not that bad. I'd rather run NYC than Chicago or Pittsburgh anyday. It's a breeze compared to Pittsburgh for sure....

    BTW - I was cautious about speaking up on the forum due to the evolution of the "self rightous" currently occuring here. You and one other DISTURB ME. Im currently censoring myself due to the scars of the last "ban hammer" contacting my cranium. You, sir, are testing my patience.

    The only drivers I've seen that are comparable to New Yorkers are drivers in the New England states (except Maine they have so common sense there), New Jersey Drivers, and Iraqis do to them viewing signals and signs as suggestions to follow and not a legal requirement to follow. Then again I never been to Wyoming so maybe they do drive crazy there.

    Edit: Forgot to add New Jersey Drivers earlier

    Pittsburgh is tight and hilly but I still don't see how that can possibly be worse than driving around in Brooklyn.
