One of the people I have previously photographed for my blog could be seen on that show. His mother was a very bad driver.

I can say from experience that Boston takes a very no-nonsense view of not obeying the parking signs, however. Several years ago I parked in front of the downtown UPS facility long enough to carry a pre addressed box inside and literally drop it on the counter ... only to find a ticket on my car when I went back outside!
