Yes, Boston has that reputation and I've known many Bostonians to take perverse pride in it. On the other hand, in a crunch Boston drivers can be the most polite in the world.

Back when I-93 was first connected to what was then I-95 southbound just north of Boston, it was merging 3 lanes of traffic in the already existing 2 lanes of I-95. (I-95 has since been re-directed around Boston and this location is a now an improved merge between I-93 and US 1). In rush hour the backup was horrendous, but no one was bulling their way through. It was a self-disciplined left-right-left-right merge process with no police or other authoritative presence. I found it very impressive. And I've seen similar but less obvious instances of polite driving in Boston on return visits after I moved away.

Now, traffic in New York City, especially Manhattan, that I'll avoid like the plague.
