Don't forget that you get to deal with the Canadian crowd 90 kph .........
Next to the prime lightweights their the biggest hazard to navigation ..... -
You forgot the lack of 'adequate parking in CT'

I've ran north,west,south and east and it gets easier each time.the reason drivers don't like n.y. or n.j. is because they hav'nt been to those areas enough times to be familiar with them.as far as people go they all seem pretty nice to me.if they are having a bad day I just stay out of their way and in time they come around.if not I just move on and try not to react to their disfunctions.

I live in Virginia. When I leave and go North, I heard all kinds of crap talking, on the radio. Some people will even have the nerve to call you all kinds of foul names because your in their way, or not driving fast enough for them.
When I go South, I can drive pretty much all the way to Florida, and hardly hear anything on the radio other than radar reports and the DOT. -

The only states in the northeast that can be difficult are northern New Jersey & Connecticut. In my opinion, the most traffic & congestion exists there. Everywhere else really isn't that bad. Most of the mountains there are actually really beautiful. 84 from Hartford to Boston is one of my favorite highways to drive on. New Hampshire and Vermont are also beautiful to drive through. I'll take driving in New England over Atlanta and all of Florida any day.
Make sure you find a safe haven by 5 pm, and be prepared to sit in a small to moderate amount of traffic, time of day pending. Other than that, you're golden.Last edited: Jan 28, 2015

Most Canadian trucks are at least 100 or better, some way better!
