Definitely Boston. Then New York City.

[Nifster]

As far as I can tell....particularly here in the north woods

Every Italian taxi driver thought he was the reincarnation of Juan Fangio.

Still, I loved the place.

“”that doesn’t also sell beer complete with a small brown bag
Yeah, sure. They’re called radar bags. You don’t have those where you’re from?””

Any true Texan knows you use to bag’s, it’s called a Texas Cozey.

[Dusty Road]

“”ou nailed it on the Texas “yahoo Cowboys” and their dam pickem-up trucks. Worst left-lane campers I have ever seen.””

If you see then doing it call LEO. that;s against the law in Texas. Left lane for passing only!

The cars are really bad in Mississippi because the tags for newer cars cost hundreds more than the tags for older cars. If your car is over 25 years old you can get an antique tag for $25 and you'll never have to prove you take it to a show or drive less than 300 miles a year with it. This last year they removed the inspection sticker requirement so now most of the cars don't have brake, indicator or lights at all. Forget using lights when the wipers are being used.

Well down there you likely don’t see much rust.

So with some wrenching skills you can do a quarter million miles pretty easy these days.

Even up here in the salt belt the Pick A Part is full of Mexicans keeping their 20 yr old minivans on the road.

[RipSawyer]

Well, I wasn’t exactly cold sober.

Clearly this person has never driven in Boston at rush hour(s).

Boston is a dance. It's like a buffalo stampede - if you run with the angry moronic beasts, with the right balance of aggressive and ... Lionel Messi ... and then a few time a month beat a cab or a bus into a spot on Mem or Storrough ... then you can be proud of your skill.

The roads are really bad though, because Deval Patrick had to have his billion dollar drapes ... and every hack politicians' 7 ne'er do well nephews must have a state job collecting tolls (they make over 75K with a little overtime) ... adjusted for insurance costs and all of that (i.e. on tiop of that) ... still, to merely own a car in Boston is 600$ a year in repairs more than average. I once replace 3 wheels (not tires) in a single year, but of course I was more than glad to pay for Deval's drapes.

Boston is beautiful, and truly ugly. I'm glad I lived there, and glad I never will again, if the Gods favor me.

I grew up in NY and learned to drive there but I now live in MA. and there is no comparison.Massachusetts drivers are totally inconsiderate and clueless.God help you if you ever need the break down lane. It only exists for people who need to get where they’re going ...fast. We also have a place in Florida and they are pretty bad but I still think MA. drivers are the worst.

Boston

[central_va]

mAssholes are aggressive drivers but they must posses some skill to pull the moves they make. You gotta give them credit for that. To survive Boston you must be a good driver. I’ve driven in some pretty hostile environments, in DC, Atlanta but Bean town can be intimidating.

“9. Texas. It has the highest percentage of deaths from drunk driving at 40 percent.”
*******************************
Many of those drunk drivers aren’t citizens of Texas or the USA; they’re illegal aliens.

[kalee]

MA was my first thought.

[wideminded]

I agree with your observation.

[ViLaLuz]

Louisiana didn’t make the list!

[doorgunner69]

Yabbut, Juan Fangio was Argentinian, not Italian...........

[gogeo]

I stay away from old men wearing hats and driving Buick’s

First, Lexus SUVs are the new Buicks. Second, we in the Northwest have an acronym, DWO.

[x1stcav]

I know, but I never said Italian taxi drivers were bright.
