This doesn't shock me. The only drivers that can compete, imo, are Philly and Honolulu. As a state, I'm not surprised we're the worst.

And Louisiana always says Texas drivers on I-10 are the worst... while for the most part those "Texas" drivers are just La transplants going back and forth.


ETA: and there it is...

Eh, PA drivers are normally pretty good compared to Jersey or NYC. But compared to here in terms of shitty drivers, LA >>>PA,NJ,NY

Lafayette pulls the average down, but we're pretty terrible everywhere.

Hawaii drivers are a special breed. How they landed in the middle of the list baffles me. They should certainly be top 5 worst.

Not sure what data is used or how it is analyzed, but pretty much everywhere has really bad drivers. Most of the lists from these types of "studies" are pretty flawed and subjective. La drivers tend to be more polite about letting people merge than just about anywhere else I've driven. But, yeah, crap drivers everywhere.

Jersey drivers are close to BR but as someone who travels the country a ton, we have the worst drivers and probably top 4 or 5 worst traffic.

BR that is.

List seems about right. I'd say 30% of LA drivers don't buy a car with a turn signal installed. That's including police officers.

I just don't see how they are any better in other parts of the country. I think the roads suck and the traffic sucks...which could translate into we have great drivers with terrible conditions.

I see the same idiotic type of driving wherever I have been though.

The one thing i like is in Texas they will drive on the shoulder to let you pass...we don't have good enough shoulders in La to do this though

LA is the only state where a yellow light means speed up. Every other state I've driven in it means slow down.

Anyone familiar with essen and I10 knows that people getting on 10 WB run that light more than any other light in BR...and it is one of the longest green lights in the city

Now keep letting the insurance companies tell you our insurance rates are so high because of the high jury threshold.
