Only Massachusetts requires police details at road work sites. Boston drivers are from Massachusetts. Coincidence? DrivingLikeAss.Com continues its study of the dual phenomena which are Boston: Police road-work details and Boston drivers.
Combining innovative technology with creative research design, DLA develops a psycho-motor test measurement of police detail impact on Boston motorists. Using the Galvanic Skin Sensitivity Index (GASSI) meter—a device that measures electrical conductivity
on the surface of the skin to generate a numeric value of the relative “nervousness” of the subject—and the Foot-Leg Attenuation and Latency Normative Comparison (FLATULNC) meter to produce a reaction time score, the Sensate Balanced Derivative (SBD) DLA research finds that police details at road construction sites have virtually no effect on the behavior of Boston drivers.
The new DLA Labs study, Traffic Authority Figures & Their Effectiveness in the Modification of Ass-like Driving Behavior: A DLA Research Study, points to a possible sensory cortex dysfunction among Boston drivers. On the other hand, it could also be that they just like driving like ass.
