My choice for city is Denver Colorado. People get onto I 25 form 120th ave. and head for the inside lane to 35 in a 60 mph traffic. City people can't drive.

Im amazed that Massachusetts didnt make the list. Look at who is keeping score. You can then see why mostly southern (red) states are bad mouthed.

Over the years, the craziest drivers I have seen had New York license plates.

They must not have seen Hawaiian drivers. Half seem to be on drugs, driving 10mph below the limit, sitting for 20-30 seconds after the light changes, etc.

You can then see why mostly southern (red) states are bad mouthed. The left complains about the South so much maybe they wish Lincoln would have let them go in 1861.

Jersey, NY and Masshole didn't make the list?
I've spoken with people from all over the country, and everybody agrees that Massachusetts drivers are crazy.
