m378, yup this is one of the most popular city-data forums. This is a thread that belongs in Automotive but already has 5 pages in the Triangle board.

I'll add the people that have CHESS stickers on the back of their minivans.

Prius' actually haven't been a bother to me on the roads. Lately it's been a bunch of Subaru's (non-WRX) getting in my way.

I lived in Florida and for the most part drivers were okay. While we are having fun with generalizations, I've had more trouble with Ohio and Pennsylvania plates.

I drive an all-electric Bolt and it is very quick off the stop if I want to drive like a maniac. But I'd rather drive safely so I don't do that. I haven't tried to see how fast it tops out, but I've never had any trouble going 5 over the speed limit on the highway.

I find that bad drivers come in all shapes and sizes and drive many different makes and models of vehicles.

Pickups and small CUVs tend to be near the top of the list, probably because they're also near the top of the sales list.

Everyone here believes they are a good driver.

At Appalachian State in the late 80's they all came up for the summer, and clogged our roads. We called them "Floridiots" then. I think it still applies.
