Dallas drivers are pretty bad. Best drivers are in Cali... I know.... Unpopular opinion....... But they all just drive and chill

I dunno. Seems like every city I've ever lived in...and I've lived in a lot...always think they have the worst drivers. Don't get me wrong BR drivers are awful...but honestly no worse than any other city I've lived in. Drivers in general just suck everywhere.
Is there some nirvana somewhere where everyone drives perfectly?

They drive pretty fast..... I feel like I have to concentrate to keep up.... But everybody stays in their lanes. There is no desire to change lanes 7 times to get 100 feet further up.

Go to Atlanta. I have yet to see worse drivers than that town.

NOLA is worse, and H-town even worse. L.A. is the worst

How do you know that both wrecks were caused by people driving 90 MPH and weaving in and out of traffic? Got you some video replay did ya?

Nola and Houston have bad drivers too. Every place has bad drivers. But the extreme traffic, poor road design, and apparent refusal to synchronize lights makes Baton Rouge the most frustrating city to drive in.

How do you know this?

I live here, and if it's anything causing traffic, it's people driving too slowly (most especially in the left lane).

Exactly. I figure the ones bitching about the fast BR drivers are the ones going 55 in the left lane and slamming brakes to stop at a yellow light.

In Houston, the I-10 on the east side of the city is pretty frustrating Bc Mexican women have perfected the art of slow left lane driving.

I was actually pretty lucky that I drove all that way and didn't experience any wrecks. In fairness to BR the single worse driver I experienced was in Wichita, Kansas. I was heading north on I-35 about to stop for the night and driving thru Wichita I noticed a police car with pursuit lights on coming southbound on the opposite lanes of the interstate. All of a sudden a car comes riding by SOUTHBOUND in the far left lane of the NORTHBOUND lanes. If I had been in the far left lane of traffic at the time I probably wouldn't be here. I was one lane over. Scared the shite out of me when I had a moment to realize what had just happened. Dude was drunk or high driving the wrong way down the interstate

Incorrect. Birmingham (and the rest of Alabama) is the correct answer.

Houston drivers are aggressive but logical. Alabama drivers are aggressive and stupid. Trust me, they're worse.

I drive it every day all day and BR being the worst drivers is unquestionable. The only people who could question it are people with very little reference to anywhere but here, and so they think this shite is normal.

I’m in both cities on the reg, and that may have been the case 20 years ago or so, but BR has taken the crown and made a run for it since then.

Let’s be successful specific here. BR drivers on the MRB are the worst anywhere period. What is it about that bridge that causes people to run into each other?

Easy to do safely in Baton Rouge. You are basically posting from a parking lot.
