1) I've now lived in New England long enough to have formed license plate stereotypes (my impression of a general driver based on their plate state), so here's a thread of them: ...
2) Connecticut: Driver believes they're entitled to right of way by ancestry and where conflictual by primogeniture. Avoid.
3) Massachusetts: Dunkin Donuts is highly correlated with road rage and the desire to drive 20 mph faster than whoever is in front of the driver, regardless of speed. Insane. Avoid.
4) New Hampshire: There's probably a gun in the car. Avoid.
5) Vermont: Driver is a highly committed individual. No one else could imagine operating a Prius in a New England winter.
6) Maine: Driver is either over the age of 85, intoxicated, or both, producing in any case comparable driving outcomes: 5 mph under the speed limit in the slow lane or 25 mph over the speed limit in the fast lane, discomfiting everyone. Avoid.
7) Rhode Island: Saved for last because small n risks violating anonymity in generalization. /end
