I used to think it was Indiana, but now I think the award goes to Ohio. It doesn't matter where I'm driving, if the plate says Indiana or Ohio, I give 'em plenty of room.
I'm from Indiana & now live in Florida. Indiana is a cakewalk compared to Florida. I dream of driving in Indiana again...
1. Any state with high-density population centers close to rural stretches of road.
Example:
The strech of road from about Richmond VA to Philly on I-95 is horrible since you go from city to rural to city to congestion to rural back to congestion. These high-speed breaks followed by dead stops seem to make everyone a "bad driver." But, that same road "evens out" as you go north past Philly and while bad, it isn't as bad as the 80 to 0 to 80 to 0 pattern.
2. Any place where the exit and entry ramps are too short.
This creates one stopped lane next to one lane at highway speed -- a formula for accidents. Examples are everywhere, but noticable in southern and western "boom towns".
3. The entire South.
Everyone here (and I was born here) thinks they are "great drivers" yet a little rain or traffic and all bets are OFF. Memo to everyone: There's a reason NASCAR stops for rain and F1, LeMans, GrandAm do not (or don't stop unless it's a torrent.)
New Jersey without a shred of doubt in my mind. Poorly engineered road systems covered with drivers doing whatever the hell they please. I don't mind driving around there however I do have an appreciation for how awful it is.
Memo to everyone: There's a reason NASCAR stops for rain and F1, LeMans, GrandAm do not (or don't stop unless it's a torrent.)
And what might that reason be? Is it because NASCAR is viewed as a southern sport and that all drivers in the South automatically can't drive in "a little rain or traffic"?
Jersey...we have the highest auto insurance premiums in the nation.
