Spartacus87 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Any list of "Worst Driver's In The Country" that doesn't include Miami is automatically disqualified from being taken seriously, in my mind. People who complain about drivers in Virginia or Maryland are funny to me. Spend a month trying to navigate around west or south Miami without getting into an accident, and then try and make those same complaints about VA or MD or where ever.

elkabong82 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Without reading anything other than the main post I have to say I wholeheartedly agree. The worst drivers on Earth reside in Maryland. There is at least one or two major accidents a week on interstate 70 between Frederick and Hagerstown. Psychos on their cell phones doing 90mph. I can't wait to get out of this state. False. Worse drivers on Earth all live in Mexico City. Also, for some reason every time I have driven into Atlanta I have almost gotten side-swiped on my right side or seen it happen to someone else. One I even had to get half way on to the shoulder and floor it to avoid impact because I saw it coming as the person cut across all 4 lanes. I hate the DMV area. There's no more driving here. It's just bumper to bumper all hours of the day. People don't know how to merge, they drive slow and listless in the fast lane, they ride their brake when making turns at the light so only a few make it, the lights are not synchronized for traffic flow, and as much as the population keeps exploding the road expansion to compensate for it has been pathetic, hence this area is top 3 worse in the nation for traffic. I miss the no traffic of east TN. It wasn't great when I was younger, but being back after 6 years, wow, holy crap is it a million times worse. I don't know how you all deal with it every day going to work. 45 minutes to drive 12 miles. It's infuriating and has to be taking its toll on your quality of life over time.

Redskins Diehard Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I'm pretty sure the top 3 in no particular are: Maryland drivers in German luxury cars Maryland drivers in Japanese luxury cars Maryland drivers in "beater" cars Number 4 is all other Maryland drivers.

Big Weirdo Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The reason I don't work in DC and have a job in western Maryland is because I refuse to sit in traffic. It's unnatural and as elkabong says ruins my quality of life. I never sit in traffic to or from work. I never will. I'd quit if that happened.

And the thought “This state has got to have the worst drivers!” may cross your mind from time to time. It’s time to update our findings with the latest driving statistics and ask once again, “Which state has the worst drivers?“. Keep in mind that not only are bad drivers aggravating and dangerous, but they contribute to increased auto insurance premiums in your State! Methodology The rankings are based on statistics pulled from several sources, including the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the National Motorists Association, and Mothers Against Drink Driving. There are five categories for each score, including: Fatalities Rate per 100 Million Vehicle Miles Traveled Failure to Obey (Traffic Signals + Seat Belts) Drunk Driving Tickets Careless Driving We translated all of this information into one Total Score: the higher the score, the worse off the states were. For example, the state with the most Careless Driving, Florida, got a 51 on the scale (District of Columbia is included in the rankings). The higher the score in each category, the worse the drivers, and the higher your state’s car insurance rates could be.

Predicto Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Massachusetts isn't on the list because the cops don't even bother to write people up for any of those silly violations like reckless driving and failure to obey signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 People who need this app should be added to the list of worst drivers: New app that can park a car A new app has been announced that can park cars for drivers struggling to reverse into tight spots. What a parked car may look like The Driverless Car Experience app was unveiled by Bosch at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, reports the Metro. Drivers will just have to swipe a virtual image on their smartphone and the app does the rest. Sensors in the car scan the available space and then take control to either reverse into a bay or parallel park.
