I can't believe no one in this thread has mentioned the danger that
Marylanders pose to the drivers of this and other (read on) areas.
It's bad enough to get stuck behind a slow-moving, indecisive
Montgomery-ite-driven minivan on I-395.  
Yesterday I was driving through Lee, MA, a quaint small town in the
Berkshires.  The driver in front of me ran through a crosswalk,
narrowly missing two pedestrians (In MA, as in MD, state law requires
vehicles to stop when a pedestrian is in a crosswalk.), then stopped
at an intersection when he had the right of way.  My wife noticed the
Maryland plates right away.  Lord knows it wouldn't have been someone
form MA.
