Where do we find the test? I want to have some proof for the idiots I know that can't drive.

Trivia Tidbit Of The Day: Part 63.

BEST AND WORST DRIVERS- Notice a trend at all? Hawaii and Alaska were not included, but if political affiliations are any indication (which, really, they aren't), it's safe to say that Alaska would likely be in the top half, while...

Here in Georgia, we have sheriff's deputies who are even more prone to commit minor driving infractions than the general public.

I guess they all must have learned to drive in New England?

I'm with Django Bliss. Mass. drivers absolutely terrify me. And I've driven in some countries whose drivers would terrify most Americans (though probably not Mass. drivers...).

Note to The Man: NY drivers miss you by a fraction of an inch while flipping you off. That's an improvement on Mass. drivers...

I was surprised Arizona did as well as it did. It must have been during the summer.

Am I seeing things, or doesn't there appear to be a correlation between population density and test scores?

I worked as a consultant in the Boston area for 6 months and was completely amazed at how bad the drivers are in the area. And it is a combination of cluelessness and pure arrogance - if you ahve to slam on the breaks to avoid people turning left on green it is not their problem. To bad the police that are ever present at the construction sites there don't give out more tickets for wreckless driving, signal/sign violations, etc.

Also living in Southern NH, the cluelessness of Mass drivers is absolutely terrifying. Not only do they think that they're the only car on the road, they're close enough to Rhode Island to not know that every car comes with a working turn signal.

Amusing, in that sick sort of way.

It seems that GMAC Insurance had themselves a little study, the results of which are probably not shocking to anyone who drives. It is absolutely no surprise to me that Massachussetts only avoided being the state with the nation's dumbest drivers ...

I absolutely believe this.

I moved to NH from the South, and driving anywhere in Massachussettes, especially Boston scares me. They also have a few nice phrases for Massachussettes drivers here in the Granite State.

The two most missed questions:
1) Who yields when entering an expressway, the person on the on-ramp or the traffic in the right lane?
2) True or False
Right-on-red means it is ok to turn right as long as the oncoming car is not involved in a fatal crash in order to avoid hitting you.

New Yorkers found the test was hard to take while flipping off the cab driver in the next lane at the same time.

Death Race 2005: NYC

A 39 year old man got out of his car in Richmond Hill and became the 18th person to be killed by a hit-n-run driver on the streets of New York this year. Anthony Ferrisi was run down by an 83 year old granny who had no idea she had hit anything.

If they selected out New Orleans, it would have a score in the low 40s.
