Yeah so Ill make this short. I finally got fed up with a crappy driver. call me what you will, but in the last year I lost 6 weeks of work as the result of 2 crappy drivers hitting my car at the airport, not to mention car depreciation etc.

If you got caught up in the stopped line to get into the waiting lot tonight around 9:30, Im sorry.
The line in the lot was a little backed up. This genius comes whipping up the left hand lane at about 35-40mph, then tries to force he way into the left hand turn into the lot 3 times, almost hitting each vehicle. I was number 3 ( he got about 2 inches from my front quarter panel) . so I blocked him out until the massport lady finally came over. She called the staties over to have a chat with this guy. They asked em to take off after I gave them a statement, reported the guy for reckless driving. Made sure to point out he had no trade dress as well. When I left there were 2 staties and 2 massport people ( a supervisor showed up) out there on his butt, so I hope he learned his lesson.

call me a snitch if you like but Im tired of these selfish people endangering my paycheck. I just felt bad holding up other drivers as brief as it may have been.

That's awesome Dan. Can't wait to have same situation as you I'm gonna do same thing like you did I'm going to stop the car and call police.

Those type of jerks drives me nuts,every day they try to cut me off but I never let them in front of me. But they find a driver before me and they go through.
I than get more mad at those drivers that they let these jerks going through no one should let this jerks do that.

Snitch and thanks for doing it. There are too many a holes in that lot. Cutting other drivers off driving reckless. All to get in 5 seconds faster or get to the terminal 5 seconds faster. I wish Massport would keep a closer eye on this stuff

No you don't. Trust me. They'll start doin stuff like checking certs at entrance. Imagine the line then

Yeah actually I do I am tired of almost getting in an accident every time I come in and out of there. Tired of being cut off. Tired of aholes taking a left from the middle lane going to the terminal. They can check certs and decals all they want. Should not be a problem if you have them.

That's the issue... the guy without it who is searching is gonna make line go nowhere.

This is not brain surgery. They clear out the first lane and don't let people park on the right or left going in. Sign up before entrance have cert ready. One line in. If you don't have it pull over to the right while they write a ticket. Simple. How about just having a Massport employee at the entrance making sure things keep moving like they do at the terminals when it is busy. Your making this out to be like rocket science it isn't. Leaving drivers to police them selves at the lot is a disaster.
 
The problem about middle lane goimg left to terminals is not really “wrong” as it open togheter, as you turn, there are 2 lanes so i belive people think its fine because of that.
Left lane should open first wille others keep red. Its a traffic light issue. Ppl can defend their selfs like the old thing “if is not saying no park it means i can park”

There is signage that states the middle lane is straight only. It's not painted on the road but there is a sign

Right...you perhaps don't really understand how things work. In principle easy enough but at terminals it's just a quick peak, drivers don't need to find certs on phone to show. You only have one lane going into lot. Any disturbance and the line is blocked all the way back to Boston. Pull to the side? Good luck with that. Less oversight is better.

I am actually surprised my cert has never been checked at the lot. I'm not expecting them to check everyone, but that massport employee that just sits there and waves people in all day, why are they not pushing all those space wasting suvs out instead and going to random cars checking for trade dress and cori certs?

You perhaps don't read very well. I said clear out all the parking on that first lane as you come in and post a sign before entering that says have your cert ready. But that is beside the point. They can't put someone from Massport or state police there to keep some order like they do at terminals? You are the one who said they will be checking certs Do they do that at the terminals on a regular basis? The other thing is they don't need to check certs they can just not allow you in the que if you have not been approved real simple. They do it in NY is you are not approved to drive in that state. They can do the same thing at the airport.

I believe there are painted arrows in the road. And the traffic lights when green are left arrow for the left lane and straight arrow for the middle lane. And you're right there is a sign on a poll

Actually, taking a left from the middle lane is illegal. Halfway down Jeffrey Street there is a sign that tells you which lanes and which way to go in each line. If you look at the middle light it has an arrow telling you to go forward into the tunnel. The right lane can either go straight into the tunnel or take a right. Left lane is left turn only. The problem is they need better signage and it would be a good idea to put paint in the middle and right lanes to emphasize

because the SUV have Livery plates and they are more likely to have all the paperwork in order. you are more likely to have an uberx who does not have all his paperwork in order than a Livery plate vehicle as they probably do this work full time.

I wish everyone would do this to the "me only" drivers.
