Worcester and Boston Mass rank at the bottom with DC and other Metro DC areas at the bottom. The worst drivers tend to be in the mega cities.

Rhode Island drivers are even worse than Boston! Miami- there’s another one, brought their driving habits from S America.

having had the displeasure of living up in MA this does not surprise me at all.

Most drivers there are impatient , rude and certainly can’t drive.
They use the breakdown lane to take over other drivers, even when an exit is coming up,.
They cannot for the life of them use their roundabouts, and have no clue who is supposed to yield .
They pull into the middle of an intersection waiting to take their left turn because they fear they might get stopped at the red light, or even worse they see the green light and take their left turn trying to beat the oncoming traffic which also has a green at the same time.
When they merge into the highway they just pull right in front of drivers who are already on the highway.

Last but not least if you are at a redlight then you half a second to press the gas once it turns green because otherwise the people behind you are already honking their horns

I have driven a lot this year.

Completely agree that Boston/Worchester/Springfield MA drivers are the worst of the worst. Every car in Boston has a dent. Who cuts me off while driving in CT? 90% of the time it is a car with MA plates. Not sure why they’re so bad, but I’ve always thought that if you’re too stupid to put a Kennedy in the Senate for a few decades, then perhaps you’re too dimwitted to operate a vehicle.

Also agree that Texas drivers are pretty good. I attribute this to heavy law enforcement.

Disagree the Jacksonville drivers are some of the best. I guess tourists, uninsured and illegal drivers don’t enter into the calculation.

Disagree that Pittsburgh drivers are among the worst. The roads in Pittsburgh are difficult to manuver around...probably contributes to bad insurance stats. Outside of congestion, I found Pittsburgh drivers to be quite polite and obedient of traffic laws

Worst US drivers, IMO, are in northern NM.

Two amusing things I noticed on a few visits to the Boston area

-— You see some guys with snowplow blades still on their SUVs and trucks in May. To put fear in the other bumper car contestants

-— When snow falls...On the major highways you see guys going as fast as they can in their 4x drive vehicles to show how fearless and tough they are

Wasn’t Boston where that terrorist ran over his own brother/passenger?
