    In my state not all the drivers are the worst. Just those from 22, 8, 14counties. That’s Crete, hastings, grand island

    Arkansas doesn’t require driver’s ed so I think we do have the market cornered on bad drivers. I see folks slam on their brakes on the interstate, reverse back to their exit, the interstates themselves were obviously designed by folks who don’t understand how it works, etc. I’ve lived in several states and never seen anything quite like it.

      I think what people don’t realize is that roads are mostly designed by politicians and transit engineers just check to make sure the whole thing doesn’t collapse or sink when a car drives over it.

      There are standards but 9/10 times the standards are written by the local council member whose background is in like real estate law or is the son of the local auto dealership owner.

    A day? In New England we say if you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes, it’ll change. And Boston drivers aren’t bad, just aggressive. New Jersey drivers are bad.

      Which New England are you in? When it’s rainy/snowy, that weather sticks around for days. Generally speaking, most places with high humidity generally have more consistent weather. It’s areas with low humidity (and high elevation) where you get really big weather and temperature swings.

      Week? Yesterday my daughter and I rode bikes to her school in 30° and rode home in 73°. Choosing her outfits is very difficult this week.

    SoCal here. Nope, weather is consistently great. Also, Arizona’s drivers are much worse.

      I was going to say everywhere but San Diego. I would describe the weather there as room temperature.

        Speak for yourself. Love and miss that cooler, predictable weather. Sick of this shit where I send my kids to school in 30 degree weather and pick them up in 70-80 degree weather. ALSO…IT. FUCKEN. WIMDY. And to top it off stank ass Bradford pears spaffing into the breeze through spring and summer. Oh and lots of tornados every year. Oklahoma weather is bullshit.

      Washington has the worst drivers on the west coast.

      Oregon has the best.

      CA and AZ are both pretty average.

    No Californian would say that. The weather is stable and nice 9 months of the year and cloudy and nice the sun the other 3.

    Per my experience, Oklahoma has the dumbest drivers, Texas and California are tied for the most aggressive drivers (but simultaneously skilled just enough to not cause mass genocide), and Virginia has the worst road layout.

    There’s a lot of different flavors of shit.

      I used to be a trucker. Drive everything east of the Mississippi.

      Indiana has the dumbest drivers. Never have I been to a state with a lower average i.q. Idk, it might be an environmental thing, like in the water, or too many generations of cousin fucking. But something ain’t right there. They make poor choices and have a lack of self preservation.

      New england the rudest, but they’re at least predictable. When they do something rude and reckless its always in pursuit of a goal. E.g. making the next exit, turn, lane ect.

      The south has the most lackadaisical drivers. They just don’t give a fuck. They’re doing what they’re doing and that’s that.

      The Midwest has the nicest most considerate drivers, and as a result traffic jams are far fewer, everything just flows smoother.

    PNW here, nope, it’s just a light rain, sometimes some sun, but that’s seasonal. Rarely there’s a storm.

    The Midwest on the other hand, nah it typically gives you fair warning when it’s about to do something crazy

      I do know one New Mexico town that had a day with the record high and record low in the same year at least at one point. Probably has a new record high by now.
