When I see a New York plate I get out of the way. They brake on the highway and never use their damn indicators. This is from a Jersey driver's perspective though and apparently people think we're awful.

I think any big city qualifies for having the worst drivers. I drove up to L.A a few weeks ago and it really is crazy how nobody signals and just push themselves in front of you. I live in a pretty small town so I guess I'm just not used to the more aggressive driving style.

I thought California was notorious for crazy drivers, but I'm a bit surprised more people aren't voting for Cali. Not that I have a problem driving in California -- but I guess that's because I'm used to it since I drive in it every day -- but I can imagine non-natives coming over would be overwhelmed.

New York has bad drivers? Every time I go up there, I find good drivers. North Carolina has some of the worst drivers I have ever encountered. I get so pissed off driving around here.

most people in Washington drive 10-20 under the speed limit and take 30 minutes to make a turn :/. They really, really suck at driving.

Definitely California, or the LA area at least. Only here you'll have freeway drivers riding your ass in a heavy rainstorm.

East Coast drivers scare me!! I much prefer the North Dakota way of driving - slowly and with caution. :D There are idiots and bad drivers here too, of course, though. It's also very difficult in the winter, even for very good drivers.

Italy (In europe at least). But only in rome. Not only are they reckless- but they aren't proficient in driving, in general. I also heard terrible stories about Thailand and China- But I haven't any personal experience.

I have New York plates. But, I'm not from New York. Feel free to get out of my way though. :lol:

I've driven in Turkey. There's not one place in the US that's worse, not even NYC or SoCal. Where else can you be doing 80-100kph (50kph speed limit) on a 4-way stoplight with no one paying attention to red lights. Plus there's jaywalkers, bikes, and donkeys sharing the road with you. It was a little hair-raising at first. But, it didn't take long for me to adjust. Plus, blowing the horn means saying hello to the other drivers. They honked their horn all the time. So did I. :lol:

The freeways are fun though. Most Turks are too stingy to pay the toll. So, I ended up having all three lanes to myself a lot of times. I'd drive pedal to the metal in a rented turbocharged Opel Vectra.

PA. Philly and Pittsburgh are good, but driving on the Turnpike makes me want to kill myself. I have nightmares of two old minivans each going 55mph next to each other and not allowing me or the 20 cars behind me to pass them.

I live next to a Marine Corps base and we have drivers from all over the place. I've come to the conclusion that everyone sucks at driving but especially people from Florida...tailgating, stopping short, no blinker EVER just drifting in and out of lanes as they please and they never keep a consistent speed on the highways. I guess that's why it's called Flori-DUH.

Oh and the best drivers? From my experience it's Germans. (Lived there for a while). They always have their heads on a swivel and are much more aware and considerate of other drivers then Americans (for the most part).

Massachusetts is the worst in my experience. they have all the faughts of drivers from Florida, but unlike the Floridians, none of them know where the gas pedal is (Florida drivers suck, but at least they go from A to B at warp speed).

Connecticut drivers are pretty rancid too.

New Hampshire drivers deserve a special place in driver hell, because everyone in the state is a "Christian Motorist" even if they cause a potential road hazard. seriously folks, if your going 65, the guy 30 feet down the road can wait for traffic to pass. slamming on the brakes to slow down to 20, so they can go is pretty **** stupid.

California. I've never been involved in any accidents before moving to this state. Never had such road rage issues either.

Ah, modern Romans and signs. It reminds me of an incident that I think demonstrates the level of organisation and efficiency that exists in modern Rome. My last visit to Rome was in 2009. When I was there, I wandered near away the Colloseum, and went uphill into some gardens that some Roman Emperor (Nero maybe?) had used as their personal space. A distinct area of these gardens had been walled off for excavation and restoration that was surrounded by barbed wire, derelict construction machines, and was being renovated by the Italian government in order to allow locals and tourists an enjoyment of the space, and to marvel over the Roman empire at its height. There was a huge billboard detailing how far along these renovations were, and when they'd be completed. The board promised (in both English and Italian) that by 2007, they'd be good to go. This whole incident raised three issues with me concerning the apparent state of organisation within Rome. 1) The first, that despite it being 11 A.M on a Tuesday, there appeared to be absolutely no prescence, whether by construction workers, security guards, or administrators, to work on, organise or protect the site. 2) The restoration and construction of the site, despite promising to be finish by 2007, had, two years later in 2009, failed to conclude. 3) Failing to finish the project on time, the local officials had even failed to take down the incredibly incriminating "this project will be finished by 2007" sign, for at least two years after.

I think the drivers in Bolingbrook Illinois are some of the worst drivers. They will not drive the speed limit, but will run red lights.:shock:

Skillwise NY has the best drivers. You ever been in a taxi in NYC? It's terrifying, you come centimeters away from accidents every 30 seconds but somehow they pull it off. Theres no state with the worst drivers. Theres good and bad
