Maybe the people who come here from out of state (I.E. Mass)

I was driving in snow while i still had my permit. Ive driven 1-70 in all conditions, with all amounts of traffic... I'm pretty sure that alone makes me a better driver than you...

that might as well be a list of based on population density. more drivers means more accidents. this should not be used as a gauge.

you're/they're smoking crack. iowa drivers are the worst drivers in the US....followed closely by NJ drivers. I've traveled most of the country and drivers in both of these states seem to completely disregard "slower traffic keep right".

Hey, I'm going to go 5 mph below the speed limit in the fucking left hand lane so no one can pass me. This shit drives me fucking insane. Fuck Iowa drivers. Fuck NJ drivers, too.

Here in NJ we say the new yorkers are bad. I know I don't drive bad, but I can name many kids who do. I do always see new yorkers do dumb stuff though. Funny how this can vary by states.

And I don't know what people are talking about. I always see people doing 80mph+ in the left lane.

it might as well be, if they simply compiled the number of accidents per state.

Luckily we have professionals who understand statistics and can conduct scientifically sound research and analyze the results while controlling for potentially confounding variables such as population density.

Driving in Boulder is awful. Drivers are overly-cautious to a fault. Like they'll slam on their breaks when they think a pedestrian is about to jaywalk, when they're just standing there. Also no one will go the damned speed limit on the highway. Don't get me started on the bikers.

I'm pretty sure boulder's problem isn't the drivers, it's the pedestrians... I agree you got to show them you mean business when you can, but not everyone's willing to risk a vehicular manslaughter stain on their record -- no matter how much the greeks on the hill deserve it.

who ever is trying to speak up for Mass should definitely rethink their statement.



MASS HAS THE WORST drivers in the U.S.


I have lived in 3 states in new england and everytime i catch myself asking " who the fuck is driving the car" i look at the license plate and its Mass

can people realize their foolish hyperboles and refrain from posting this kind of shit?

colorado drivers are fine. east coast drivers are suspect but fine. worst drivers in the world are in poorer countries where driving laws are a text only kind of thing. some fuckin terrifying driving in some places

oh i fucking hate it when bicyclists ride in the street, its ok if your in the bike lane, but its so lame when they are going 20 max in a 40 and making everyone go around them, then they freak out and yell at you if you honk or follow them. every time i come up to some douche bag in the middle of the road i lay on the horn.
and i ride my bike all the time too, but i stay out of the fucking way.

so basically you yell at someone for following the law. most places dont have bike lanes, and most places its illegal to ride your bike on the sidewalk. but way to be a road ragey driver honking at cyclists.

came from michigan went to utah

almost shat my pants the first 13 minutes, but then you learn that each state has their own "level of defense / offense" that drivers have. And then I got used to driving like an asshole.

well it seems that he's not yelling at them for riding in the street in general, just when they are riding right in the middle of the road. there is no way you can argue for this, its just arrogant of the biker. yes sometimes you have to ride a little bit in the road due to debris/other things in road, i understand that i bike up little cotton wood at least once a week in the summer. but there are bikers who just ride smack dab in the middle not allowing you to pass them unless you want to make a dangerous manuever and that is frustrating.

putting on your blinker results in everyone around you speeding up to pass you, no matter the conditions.
