The list for the worst driver's included #1 Worchester (a suburb of Boston) and #2 Boston itself)
While this is the first time Massachusetts has made the list, it's the first time they have been included in the list!

I can't say that I am surprised, the city is nuts! No streets signs, lanes end without warning, and people use their horns like it's a blinker!
We use a GPS religiously, and I am at 10 and 2 the entire time!
Jordan spent the month of August at one of the VA Hospitals in the Boston area, meaning he took the car everyday driving 20-30 minutes to work each day. One particular day, we all piled in the care to take "dada" to work so the girls could take the car to play!
I was driving when we approached one of two DOUBLE LANE ROUNDABOUTS in morning traffic--ick!
Long story short, I slammed on my brakes to avoid hitting a car that cut in front of me causing us to get rear-ended!
No one was injured, the hit felt more like a bumper car at the fair. I am not even sure Stella understood what happened. Thank goodness I had brushed my teeth before walking out the door!
We exchanged information and finished our trek to drop off Jordan to the hospital
the damage
But we didn't let this little fender bender rain on our parade, we headed to the town of Chatham, Cape Cod
The day was perfect, gorgeous really, and we just let the kids play!
While it may look like a regular beach, it's quite different! The water was freezing! The sand was a little thicker and as pictured (not white)
But the day for the Honda was not over. A thunderstorm came through the area as we were leaving and when we hit the interstate, we had a hail storm for about ten minutes.
I just had to laugh! Jordan and I pay a monthly fee to park our car in a covered garage to "protect" our car from the "Boston bump" (people purposefully bump your car to parallel park) and the weather….and lo and behold, we are here a month and have a car accident and hail exposure in one day!
