lol

- So the "best" drivers come from the states with the least amount of traffic!?????!??!?!!!!

I don't think soooooo.

- The best drivers are big city drivers. You have to deal with sooo much more.

Say word. Put those people in 5 p.m. mid-town traffic. !@%@!* would be having panic attacks left and right

 

[put em up]

Cali should def be number 1 followed by North Carolina and VA. Easily the worst drivers in America.

PA is about right. Pittsburgh hinzers creatin additional lanes to get in front of u then ride they breaks for 5 blocks then turnin at the drop of a dime w/o noturn signal. Got into it w/ a cab driver for pullin that w/ my daughter in the wheel

and the Pittsburgh left is vicious

WJ4 remember about a year and a half ago when they closed down the 5 south because the damn freeway burned?

I think it was when an 18 wheeler blew up and was on fire, someone I know was stuck right next to it and had to go off road to save his life.
It was by where the 5 north and the 14 meet.

L.A. as a city must be top 3 no doubt, counting all the people that drive drunk and are on drugs there still hundreds of wreckless drives out there daily.

Yea I go to school down here and unfortunately 3 students have died in car accidents in MD. Really sad.

And hell DC and VA ppl can't drive either

I nearly got in like 3 accidents today, most of them because people were going slow and/or didn't use a turn signal properly.

Yeah... I'm from Oregon.

Other 48 >>> Cali > Florida. Easy.


By the way, drivers in L.A. and Miami are the worst drivers I've ever seen. No, I'm not intimidated to drive there. I have before, and would again.

Asians that immigrated here that didn't come from Japan cannot drive. It has to do with the persons upbringing as a child when it comes to driving. Driverswho have had experiences riding and driving in cars their whole lives are going to be better drivers than someone who has never seen a car or traffic gettingbehind the wheel. First generation Asian-Americans are fine at driving, a few I know are some of the best drivers I know; while their parents keep insurancelevels up for the rest of us. I live in Irvine, so it's like a warzone out here driving around a shopping center.

From years (14+) of driving on the interstate along 95 from NY to FL and now to the Midwest, I find the most issues with drivers from Ohio and Pennsylvania,although my most recent trip I ran into a lot of South Carolina plates who didn't know what they were doing.

 

[DownByLaw]

Hands down the worst city in the U.S. to drive in Monterey Park, CA. (10 Miles away from Downtown L.A.)

It's not based on opinion...it's based on how people from those states scored on a test. Read the article.
Here's the test http://nationaldriverstes...rivers-test/ndt-test.php

To have Skills you must have some sort of basic knowledge.

NY an NJ are definitely the worst, if only they would enforce the no talking on the cell phone while driving law.

 

[dirtylicious]

^point blank...book knowledge of the laws does not necessarily equate to being able to drive well.


I bet you could have a 17 yr old kid get 100% on that test....but yet still not have the necessary experience to be able to drive on NYC tri-state roads andhighways


edit.

NY an NJ are definitely the worst, if only they would enforce the no talking on the cell phone while driving law.
I've driven all over the US... and MD and DC have been the worst drivers I've ever experienced

 

[verdykt]

Utah should be higher. Some of the worst driving i've seen. I honestly fear for my safety everytime i have to drive.

Yessir i come from the state where dudes drive slow in the fast lane and some cars just aren't made with turn signals.

I've been on the 405 on a Friday at 5:00 and trust me I saw some outrageous stunts being performed on the road.
