Yep. They "learned" in Connecticut, New Jersey and Long Island. And that's really scary.

As I mentioned, MTA bus drivers are the worst at this sort of thing. And they learned to drive (at least their buses) here in NYC.

Got anything else you want to blame on immigrants? It seems to be trending behavior. And more's the pity.

Also, getting a license in many countries is far more difficult than in the US. Where I'm from there aren't even learner permits. The only way to learn is to take lessons with a real instructor and the exam is really strict. Most people fail several times and spend thousands on getting it.
