Who's got the worst drivers?

There's no way you can safely do the speed limit on I-285. Do you remember that stunt the college kids did where they took up every lane and did the speed limit?

 

Yep. Nearly got killed in about five minutes.

 

How did Illinois not make the bottom ten?

 

OK, there is no way that Michigan is not in the bottom 10 either. Not only do they not know any of the rules of driving, they absolutely refuse to practice them and come up with their own creative ones: like turning right from the left turn lane three lanes over. And honestly, you can never go fast enough for these people. You can be in the middle lane of a six-lane expressway going 80 and someone is coming around you (always on the right, of course) going like 100.

 

Doesn't really matter where you are, really. I think probably 10-15 percent of those who have licenses can actually drive worth a shit in any given state. It's a shame when you have to assume everyone next to you on the road can't drive well and doesn't understand basic things like get out of the left lane unless you're passing someone.

 

Apparently, Texans' absolute refusal to use their directionals didn't count against them in this survey.

 

Also apparently, driving habits on the DFW freeways weren't considered.

 

Dead on about New York (especially the city). Of course, lanes about as narrow as Sean Hannity's mind and merging lanes shorter than Danny DeVito don't help, but driving in NYC is a martial art.

And I echo the sentiments about Georgia in general and I-285 in particular.

 

Bruce is right. As a general rule, people suck at driving.

I'd say less than 10 percent of us actually know what the fuck we're doing out there. The rest of y'all need to stay out of our way. ;D

 

Oklahoma drivers are easily the worst I've ever had the displeasure of sharing the road with.

 

no way New York is worse than Massachusetts.

THe problem in the City is that the road system is antiquated. People can drive, its just that the roads suck.

Is it me, or are there more speed demons south of the Mason-Dixon. I've been down there a few times and have seen people in cars, and bikes zip past well into the triple digits. (at least in ATL and Florida)

 

I blame soccerNASCAR.
