I’ve driven and ridden in L.A. my whole life and have driven in most of the major cities in the U.S., but the only time I was truly terrified was driving in NYC.

My beef with NYC is not driving in it, but finding street parking. It is fiction.

In terms of fear:

Once in Cleveland, Ohio.

Crossed the tracks once and within seconds the community zeroed in my vehicle and started chasing it, making yelling and screaming sounds. I got back to the other side of the tracks quickly. It was weird.

I know that prob sounds pretty "city slicker Pompous" but like you said if you've spent some time here.. you get it lol.

It was weird. at least with the motorcycle you can squeeze into corners and sidewalks. The other worry is hoping the bike is still there when you get back. Brazen crime Is getting pretty bad here.

I really like NYC. Nice place to visit. Considered living in Manhattan once (hard to believe looking back).

A few times I have seen mid-town pedestrians struck by cars. Mostly teenage kids on skateboards. They roll over the windshield/hood and pick up their junk, flip the bird and move on. Can't imagine how the drivers felt.

Even here in rural Ohio I am noticing more and more people busting red lights by trying to get into the intersection on the yellow light. Sometimes my light is GREEN and people are still coming thru across in front of me.

Like a little kid you want to look both ways before preceeding even with a green light.
