Man, if these nutcases supposedly know how to drive, I sure wish they'd start doing it!!  Maybe they polled outside of the cities or something...

"1 in 3 drivers don’t usually stop for pedestrians – even if they’re in a crosswalk or at a yellow light."


LOL- not surprising. Tho the school kids here defiantly block cars- as they assume none will hit them. 

Anything you do- you drive, not walk. We dont even have a bus. No one used it so it went bankrupt.

The highway has signs all over- no ped x-ing...for 6 miles. But that is where the stores are- and one might want to shop.

Urban planning is woefully inadequate... I dont blame the driving- I chalk it up to poor planning for sprawal.

If you j-walk here- it is commen. If you bikeride on errands- one practically gets run off the road!

BTW- Im tired of the Amish horse and buggies leaving a big piles of shtt in front of MY house!!!  [real nice when my car is freshly detailed!]arghh




Wolf1020 -> RE: America's Worst Drivers are From (6/5/2006 8:57:02 AM)

these people have obviously never drivin in florida

florida drivers are the worst I have ever seen, even drivers in NYC aren't as bad and they have been known to go on the sidewalk to turn around out of a traffic jam

They are nuts in FL. You have those drving 10-20 mph under the speed limit, and those flying and doing 30-40 over, and these ppl weave in and out of traffic like they are out of their minds. They don't use blinkers (rarely any do), and they will do 15 mph in a 40 if they get lost, and will think nothing of cutting over 3 or 4 lanes to get into a turn lane if they miss their turn.
F 'ing nuts is an understatement.
As I say--the damn sun has fried their brains.




Wolf1020 -> RE: America's Worst Drivers are From (6/5/2006 9:14:23 AM)

Isis, you left out the fact that a person can run a red light with a cop sitting right there and the cop does squat




BitaTruble -> RE: America's Worst Drivers are From (6/5/2006 10:18:08 AM)

MN came in 12th at 86%, but that's only because I don't drive much!




Pavel -> RE: America's Worst Drivers are From (6/5/2006 11:20:06 AM)

I don't believe that Washington is number two.  I've had enough near death experinces while driveing to know there's a fair number of very bad drivers around these parts.




MasterRenegade77 -> RE: America's Worst Drivers are From (6/5/2006 12:12:42 PM)

I knew My home state N.Y. would be one of the worst!!! (5th from last)
I took the test there just for shits & giggles, I haven't been able to drive since My accident 14 yrs ago...

National Drivers Test - Results Your score was: 100% A score of 70% or better is considered passing on a state written drivers test. The correct answers are highlighted below..

Guess it must be the age thing they cited I'm 55 LOL




MistressLorelei -> RE: America's Worst Drivers are From (6/5/2006 12:30:10 PM)

I drive in Florida every day...  we do have some bad driver's... thing is most of them have recently come from everywhere BUT Florida.

<Native Floridian, one of the 'good' drivers>  ;)

Having spent thirty-four years of my life in San Francisco, I can truly see how Oregon took the top spot. Almost daily, on the radio, they talk about all types of traffic enforcement campaigns they are starting{Almost to the point of being an infomercial}. When they will start, what they are enforcing and why they are enforcing it. While indeed it's definitely a revenue grabbing ploy, it dose have the dual effect of educating the driving public.

champagnewishes -> RE: America's Worst Drivers are From (6/5/2006 6:30:25 PM)

Geez....California actually did alright...wouldn't know it by the cost of insurance here and the freeways every morning would seem to argue that point.
