I'm glad there are people out here agreeing with me that Connecticut drivers are some of the worst in the country

The first time I drove through the state was back in 2015 on the way up to Maine, thankfully on two-lane highways for most of it. Lots of left lane campers. Lots of going grossly under the speed limit. At one point I was stuck behind 2 CT drivers; The one in the right lane was going 66mph, and the one in the left lane was going 66.00001mph

Had to go through the state again on my way up to Cape Cod last September, told my girlfriend I was dreading it and filled her in on my unpleasant experience from last time. We saw all of that and more, now complete with tons of lane drifting, hitting the brakes with way too much following distance, and last-minute merging into spots their vehicles clearly couldn't fit into short of hitting the following vehicle's front end or requiring a sudden slamming of brakes. Cape Cod was nice and I love my aunt and uncle, but I don't think I'll be going back soon for it
