I really want to see how this study was conducted but they have no link
I don't trust any article that doesn't link a source. What is described in the article is already suspicious enough regarding methods
Florida drivers are the worst
Big state, lots of miles, lots of traffic, very flat with long straight aways, makes sense.
- I was in San Antonio for vacation. Within the hour, I was watching Texans drive every vehicle imaginable across dirt and grass partitions that separated the highway from frontage roads. And I dont mean a few drivers, I mean I watched multiple drivers, all down the highway. Like nonstop. Its rarer to not see drivers doing it.
  The most odd bit was that it wasnt even rush hour, there really wasnt any traffic on the road
I think colorado is number 4 due to all the Texans and Californians that flooded the state. They put up a death counter on the highway signs and most years when I lived there it averaged more than a death a day on highways.
- I grew up there and learned to drive there. I'm convinced it's actually why I'm a good driver. I didn't have a choice. Either git gud or die.
Instead of a study, can't they just count the state with the most BMW drivers ?
After having driven through the I40 spaghetti junction at Dallas, I understand. Never again.
Have you tried driving in Texas? I’m surprised it’s not number one.
I'm calling bullshit. Of the four states I've lived in, Texas easily had the best drivers. It's one of the few things they do right.
Maryland and California drivers are absolutely terrible.
- Uh, Massachusetts exists. Incredibly nice people I met there. But somehow also incredibly terrible, aggressive drivers...
- I've lived all over this country. This is my unofficial rankings for asshole drivers:
  Tennessee
  Florida
  Kentucky
  Texas
  Indiana
  Nevada
  Mississippi
  West Virginia
  California
  Arkansas
  No really. Fuck Tennessee drivers.
