Although my city is pretty bad. I was almost hit by a driving instructor while crossing the street legally. While crossing a single intersection I've almost been hit by as many as four cars. People regard a light that has just turned red as being still green and assume that left turns can happen as long as their reaction time is faster than the people going the other way. They also seem to think that they can gridlock traffic with wild abandon, drive the wrong way on one way streets, cut off buses, make blind turns etc. Pedestrians and cyclists do not exist as far as these drivers are concerned. They will run you over if you don't hesitate before crossing in front of them.

*TAKEN FROM WIKI*

The Dodge Viper (sold as the Dodge SRT-10 in the United Kingdom) is a V10-powered sports car manufactured by the Dodge division of Chrysler LLC. Production of the two seat sports car began at New Mack Assembly in 1992 and moved to its current home at Conner Avenue Assembly in October 1995. The car, as well as numerous variations of it, has made countless appearances in TV shows, video games, movies, and music videos. All generations had the same 6-speed manual transmission. According to 2009 research by internet company Yahoo, the Viper is the second most fuel consuming car on sale in the United Kingdom.


And its specs...

* 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h): 3.5 sec [11]
* 0–100 mph (0–160 km/h): 7.6 sec [11]
* quarter mile: 10.92 sec @ 127.79 mph (205.66 km/h) [12]
* top speed: 202 mph (325 km/h)
* slalom: 74.2 mph (119 km/h)+
* skidpad average acceleration: 1.06 g (10.4 m/s²)
* 100–0 mph (160–0 km/h): 270 ft (82 m)


I am sorry, but this car kicks the s**t out of almost everything else in its class.

France has a far better rating than the US, with the US rating 27th amongst 30 OECD countries. France is 14th.

Abu Dhabi is not on this list.

Maybe China?
I am shocked. According to you everything that is the worst is in America.

Russia has 45% of the population of the United States.
Russia has less than 10% of the cars of the United States.
Russia has 5% more deaths as a result of motor vehicle crashes.

Clearly, Russian drivers are much worse.

Not the worst however. I vote India!

OMG, It's so obvious! Of course!! Science has lied to us!!!

It's time to abandon scientific progress and only look towards the Lord Jesus Christ (who is white of course) for guidance in all matters!

I was in Seattle rush hour traffic once. The fact I was not driving did not put me at ease at all.
