Everyone is wrong.
The correct answer is Oregon. The worst drivers on the fucking planet.
The retardation of the average Oregon driver isn't quantifiable. These people drive so fucking bad they break the laws of physics.

Wisconsin is on there as safe because we have to drive 40MPH or less most of the time because of road construction or potholes.

That's why Detroit is so bad - we have worse potholes and more construction, but people still drive like it's the Indy 500.

Did they ever finish the construction on IH 40 where it comes into ABQ from the East or is it still bumper cars?

I’m shocked. Boston drivers have always been the worst
View Quote


No, Boston area drivers are talented. Rt 128, 6 lanes wide, bumper to bumper at 95+MPH takes skill, as does doing 90 along the 250 year old goat trails which are Massholia roads. Asshole drivers, perhaps, but skilled ones.

I find many specific roads in NJ and Connecticut have a far higher percentage of talentless, entitled, cunts behind a wheel. That encompasses males and females.

But Memphis does have more than their fair share of bad drivers.

Driving through out the midwest, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin there is one thing that time after time never fails when you see a car doing the speed limit up in front of you in the left lane, as you get up on them in the middle lane you see their plates are WISCONSIN,  never fails me and I've put a lot of miles on those 5 or 6 states

That all depends on perspective.

When everybody drives the same (in the case of MA - aggressively) traffic flows really well. When someone shows up who didn’t learn to drive on Boston streets, they f#ck it all up. They hesitate changing lanes and stop when lights turn red. Boston drivers always expect two cars to run the light when it changes. It’s all in the mindset.

Boston native here (and if I remember correctly from other posts, I think you might be from MA as well). I never had a car accident in Boston and like most Boston drivers, I drove like a bat out of hell. I had to relearn how to drive when I left MA. In all honesty, I saw a lot fewer car accidents in Boston than I did living in CA and here in TX.

Feel like you share the roadways with some dangerous drivers? A new study shows where that’s most likely to be the case.

The study by ConsumerAffairs reviewed crash data from the U.S. Department of Transportation and information included in the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System.

The site then ranked cities based on four factors: crash fatalities per 100,000 people, the number of fatalities (per 100,000 people) due to bad driving, positive blood alcohol content, and speeding. “Bad driving” included driving the wrong way in one-way traffic; failing to yield; aggressive and careless driving; making an improper turn; following improperly; inexperience operating; passing where prohibited; and improper or erratic lane changing.

Only cities with populations of 100,000 or more were reviewed by ConsumerAffairs.

Cities with the worst drivers, according to ConsumerAffairs’ analysis, were scattered through states in the lower Midwest and into the Southeast, as well as in the Southwest.

Tennessee had the most cities appear among the top 20 at four, including the worst-ranked city. In fact, Tennessee had 34 deadly crashes per 100,000 people in 2021, which is a significant increase compared to the national average of 12 deadly crashes per 100,000 people.

Topping out the list was Memphis. According to ConsumerAffairs, the majority of deadly crashes in Memphis are caused by bad driving, causing 203 deadly crashes in 2021 — more than any other city.

Tennessee’s three other cities on the list were Knoxville (12), Clarksville (17), and Chattanooga (19).

The 10 U.S. cities with the worst drivers, based on ConsumerAffairs’ analysis, were:


1. Memphis, Tennessee
2. Baton Rouge, Louisiana
3. Albuquerque, New Mexico
4. Macon, Georgia
5. St. Louis, Missouri
6. Cleveland, Ohio
7. Detroit, Michigan and Victorville, California (tied)
9. Hesperia, California
10. Rockford, Illinois

It wasn’t all bad. ConsumerAffairs also ranked the cities with the safest drivers, which were largely in Texas and California.

Topping out the list, though, was Green Bay, Wisconsin, a state that has often ranked as having some of the worst roads in the country.

The 10 cities with the safest drivers, according to ConsumerAffairs, were:

That is petty fucking bad if College Station, Texas made the top ten of safest drivers.

College Station is practically Mayberry compared any other college town in Texas. We played a game the last time we drove through Lubbock — count the number of damaged bumpers. Triple points if both front & back were damaged.
