I have to disagree with that. NY would still be winning.

New York is a much more dense city, along with being a much bigger city. Aggressive driving doesn't bother me so much when there's rush hour traffic, but where I live, people have a tendency to do it just to f**k with you, or just because they can.

I agree with you. Its all over FL, but Miami is the wost. I remember sitting at a red light there, and the second it turned green, a wave of horns started blaring.

I do not like red light runners but I am also not a big fan of people who wait twenty second to start moving when the light changes to green and then move very very slowly not realizing or not caring that there are some 50 cars behind them, all trying to make it across the intersection.

be 16, pass a simple memorization computer test, circle around a parking lot at the dmv (park car, stop at a stop sign, check your blinkers, honk your horn),
pay 25 bucks. thats about it. no road test, no parallel parking, yada yada.

along with lots of young people, lots of tourists, lots of old people, lots of illegals, poorly designed highways... makes fl a worst case scenario imo.

I wonder how many of those people in the test are actually legal residents in another state and not added to FL totals (tourists, snowbirds, 2nd home owners)

Wow, that's pretty easy. I had to parallel park between 2 cars and do a 3 point turn, and drive along a pretty main road. Had to do some other things too, but forgot what.

Not that easy My roadtest was an actual New York street after month of driving with my father in a passenger seat. I agree however that it is wat to easy to obtain a license in most areas of the US.

Wow. What part of FL was that. I just went through Drivers ED in my High school. But I know people who had to do driving tests on main streets. Im talking 8 lane road at rush hour.
