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.
Just about anywhere in SoCal there are terrible driversKaos_StarThis. Some people drive like they own the freaking road for crying out loud.
new york has the worst drivers ever! dont want to be caught inside the ho lland tunnel or the other tunnels or on any major bridge cause your stuck there for hours

I live there as well and this seems to be accurate.

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.
[QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"]Italy (In europe at least). But only in rome. Not only are they reckless- but they aren't proficient in driving, in general..Danm_999I second this. The amount of basic, completely avoidable low speed collisions I saw in Rome blew my mind. There was a joke that road signs in Rome are "suggestions".
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.

The amount of basic, completely avoidable low speed collisions I saw in Rome blew my mind. There was a joke that road signs in Rome are "suggestions". 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:
