Mass is unique with its unusual laws, backwards processes, and every-man-for-himself drivers.

I'm glad RD.net opened this section, it's a good place to discuss state-specific topics.

The NMA has a lot of state-specific information, including how to fight tickets, and other secrets. See here:

Police Target Drivers Who Don't Stop

Dozens Nabbed In Operation Crosswalk


BOSTON -- The Boston Police Department is going to unusual lengths to target drivers who don't stop for pedestrians in crosswalks.

...

the Boston police sent an officer in plain clothes to cross Tremont Street in the South End as part of Operation Crosswalk

...

The undercover officer tries to cross with her "baby." In this case, it's just a toy. Many attempts are successful, but a lot end with the driver pulled over.

...

In three hours, 62 drivers were stopped.
