The ATL rolls in at 151. Not exactly something to write home about but at least we're ahead of cities like Newark, Dallas, Philadelphia, Hartford and New York.

"Atlanta, at least we're ahead of Newark." Could be the new city slogan.

Having now driven in both places extensively I'd like to know who did that survey.

Allstate Insurance Company.

They do an annual report on this based on their claims data.

Atlanta's ranking is truly not all that bad. As I mentioned above, we're doing better than Newark, Dallas, Philadelphia, Hartford and New York. As well as Chicago, Baltimore, Houston, Oakland, Providence, Miami, San Francisco and many others.

"We're not Detroit!"

Oh wait, Cleveland already has that one.

It's those drivers texting and talking on cell phones.

I've seen plenty of bad drivers everywhere, but the distracted ones with the phones, the worst.

Every southern city south of Baltimore should be on the top worst drivers list. Nobody can drive worth a flip around here.

Possibly the bad drivers here are the transplants from north of Baltimore. Speaking of Baltimore- that is not a fun city to drive around.
