TheGoodBits Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 DC is only on the list because we've gotta deal with all the lunatic Maryland drivers. (Leaves thread immediately) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 DC is only on the list because we've gotta deal with all the lunatic Maryland drivers. (Leaves thread immediately) Every time I see a ridiculous driver in DC, it's almost guaranteed to be a MD license plate.

Springfield Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Every time I see a lunatic driver in VA, it almost always have a MD license plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 VA drivers get into accidents on I-66 everyday. Somehow they blame "lunatic md drivers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find the full report here Click on the link for the full article My grandparents on my mother's side were from Idaho and they would be terrified whenever they would visit and we would be out on the road. To them it was like going from a regular safe driving environment to Mad Max level insanity. I remember in Idaho Falls and Boise people never even honked at each other; if a light turned green and you didn't see it they would usually just sit there until you noticed.

tshile Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I've driven all over the mother ****ing world... I cannot be convinced that Florida doesn't have the worst drivers. The report is false. Agreed. If I lived there I wouldn't even have a car. Too risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 In my experience, Boston is by far the worst. I've never driven there without finding several other drivers doing something completely stupid. It doesn't help that the traffic signs and exits are tiny, infrequent and uninformative, so people are always cutting across 3 lanes of traffic to make an exit at the last second. Los Angeles is the most terrifying. Everyone on the freeways tailgates at 80 miles an hour, and then the traffic suddenly comes to a complete stop, and then they all revv up and tailgate again. When there is an accident, it invariably involves 37 cars and 13 semis. DC is bad mostly because the Beltway is inadequate. San Francisco is bad because we keep running over pedestrians. Not sure why, but it happens a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 When I lived in West Palm Beach for 7 years, when my light turned green, I'd count to 3 before going. You never knew what numbnut would run a red light. Locals who were born there told us to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never knew what numbnut would run a red light. Locals who were born there told us to do that. That happens here in North Carolina a lot, too. It blew my mind that I moved from DC to North Carolina and my insurance went up. Then I drove around a bit and was like... ah, got it. Ridiculous. But even then, it's a lot of dudes with FL plates.

Riggo-toni Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 San Francisco is bad because we keep running over pedestrians. Not sure why, but it happens a lot. How is that possible?

DogofWar1 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I can definitely see DC being a pain. You can, in part, thank Richmond for that, I don't think any of the arteries into DC are wider than 2 lanes except maybe 395. We're gonna widen 66 though, it'll be great, it'll only take 15 years and cost 11ty bajillion dollars, which will comes from tolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The widening of 66 will only be outside the beltway, once cars get inside the beltway traffic will come to a screeching halt (as it already does). And it is insane that 95 isn't 4 lanes all the way to Fredricksburg, and 3 lanes all the way to Richmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 San Francisco is bad because we keep running over pedestrians. Not sure why, but it happens a lot. It's couldn't be because the street people actually SLEEP in the road? I know some places that they actually pitch tents in the road, or at least they used to.
