I just love it when people generalize. I am borned and raised Minnesotan. I ALWAYS speed. Guess that blows your theory.

Heh. Yeah, I used to think Twin Cities drivers were had, but then I moved to Atlanta and experienced awe-inspiring idiocy on the freeways.

At times it might seem like things in the Twin Cities are "the worst" this and "the worst" that, but most of the time it really isn't the case, and there are far worse examples to be found elsewhere in the US. Traffic and drivers would be two of those things.

Well there you have it! It MUST be true if FOX says so! Especially since this is such subjective material...

They drive slow because they think if they miss one of the curves they might end up in one of the ten thousand lakes and their name ain't Sulley and they might not do a perfect water landing.

I am from Italy, and I don't think they drive slow, I just think at time they are OVER polite. It gets annoying at times.
and old people ARE slow. But that's almost everywhere I've been.

I used to live in Milwaukee and I know people there tend to have an inferiority complex when it comes to Chicago.

They were cooler and drove faster, so I understand why it's fun to find someone else to look down on. People in Minnesota are like from that movie "Fargo". And they drive slow.

But the truth is, people in Chicago think people in Milwaukee are farmers and drive tractors. So hey, we all get to be victims.

When I would go to MN to visit my daughter in college, I always thought everyone drove like bats out of h***! Except in Northfield, where I got a fist shaken at me for not stopping in the middle of the street to let someone walk across when they felt like it. But up in Mpls, the cars were in charge.

You people who think "we" drive too slowly are just in the wrong place at the wrong time. There are always idiots like you out there.
You just drive as fast as you want to and the Minnesota State Patrol will find you. God help you if it turns out to be my cousin though.
