I've never gotten an NYC traffic ticket *knock on wood* but there is a lot of extra stress over it compared to driving in North Bumblefuck.

The speed limit being 50 on the highways is a good example - I typically go 4-9 over, and everywhere else you're going with the flow of traffic by doing that. But in NYC, at 9 over you are still the slowest car on the road during the off hours. And the cops will still pull people over even though they are going the speed of traffic! So survival is pure luck - you are either the slow guy who gets rear ended by the aggressive driver who's not paying attention, or the unlucky sod who the cop decided should have a bad day. They need to build that bridge from CT to LI so I never need to enter NYC's borders again.

TBH I've spent enough time outside of NYC to realize... living in NYC is just plain not worth it.
