RE: Where Are The Worst Drivers?
I found that Ohio drivers are pretty good... at least N.E. Ohio where I live. I grew up in NYC/Northern NJ and my vote for the WORST and RUDEST drivers goes there. I lived in L.A. for about 8 years and for the most part Los Angelinos drive pretty good considering the traffic conditions that they deal with on a daily basis. Yeah... NJ drivers are the WORST!

RE: Where Are The Worst Drivers?
I'm with you, racerx, Any town in fl for that matter.
I live in Melbourne, Fl 9 out of 12 months a year.
Older driversare a hazard on the road. i am not kidding.
They figure that they have the most experience and that they are the safest drivers, as opposed to us young, reckless, irresponsible, and obknoxious college kids. They don't obey any rule that involves the right of way, plow through red lights,... My friend has a very nice 1994 Bmw 540, when we were in school for about a week, some old lady ran a red light and smashed his fender with her grand marquis. Her car just had his paint on it, he (still, lol) has to get a new fender. Then she gets out of the car and
starts arguing that MY FRIEND RAN INTO HER!
Iwas in the car and i clearly saw a green light for us, and her totally ignoring her red light.
I asked her how it was possible that my friend's fender was smashed, considering he was traveling in a straight line... She replied: I don't know, it went so fast, but it's not my fault, i'm not the teenager here!
I was just amazed...

you realize that many people work near the border and at cartain times the road gets clogged (rush hour). Come on now. I get mad at a hicktuckian driving just about daily. AlsoMichigan people in Ohio is 10000X worse.

I see a ton of Ohio drivers that clog up the expressways. I live in the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area. In NKY, the expressways are smooth sailing, you can go 85 easily, but over in Cinci, you get all kinds of bad drivers going 55 in the fast lane.
But the worst is when they come down to KY and everyone will be going 85 in the fast lane and then BAM right there in the fast lane is some bad Ohio driver going 55 and causing all sorts of problems. Sorry Ohio people, its just how it is in the NKY.

But I dont care if its rush hour, if everyone is going slow, then there's nothing you can do, but when its smooth sailing and you get a buckeye in the fast lane going 55, thats what I'm referring to.

I would take offense to the 'hicktuckian' comment, but when I seen that you spelled 'CERTAIN' wrong,it just made me laugh.

RE: Where Are The Worst Drivers?
I vote for NY, for 2 reasons.
For starters, I like the idea of the rules of the road on the autobahn (not only because Audi is in the hierarchy of 'move out of the way for me you lowly non-sporty car'). Its the idea that you actually pass on the left, and drive in the right lane. On A DAILY BASIS I get stuck with some moron doing 10-15 mph slower than everyone else driving in the left lane. They will on occasion move to the right lane to let you thru (I'll impatiently ride their *** with my left turn signal on), but 80% of the time, I'll watch in my mirror as they move back to the left lane after I pass. Theres no traffic in the right lane, they just prefer driving (slowly) in the left lane.
Reason two, where do all those caddys go in the summer? Back to NY, where they came from before their owners got old and couldn't take the cold of winter.
