Where are the world's worst drivers?

[Farnhamia]

I've driven in the US and it's just fine there. Oh, except San Diego. Lordy that was scary.

No dude there's people texing, talking and doing there make up it's horrible in this spposed nation of responibility

Responsibility? What is this "responsibility" of which you speak, stranger? I have heard of the "land of the free," I have heard of the "home of the brave," but the "nation of responsibility"? No, no, you have mistaken us for someone else.

Ah, I see where you have gone wrong. No, my friend, no one listens to the "public" except on rare occasions, usually when election to national office is at stake, and even then, only with a good deal of skepticism. As for the "media," besides being an ancient land somewhere in the vicinity of Iran and Iraq, it is well-known for being a front for corporations in the US.

You think the US is the only place where this is happening? Man, you fail your driving test in Britain if you can't demonstrate the ability to put dressing on your salad while pulling a handbrake turn on the motorway and receiving head from the instructor.

It can be a traumatic experience, believe me.

New Jersey and Russia

In New Jersey, you drive car. In Russia, car drives you.

[Suvon]

Queensland motorists have a pretty bad rep - especially at roundabouts where locals were stunned about these 'new-fangled no-traffic light roundie things'. It's still the reason we need arrows near them to tell us what we're doing.

But my worst experience was Thailand, Bangkok. If it isn't a screaming, churning confusion of cars that makes you noxious its sitting in the hot, sticky, gigantuan traffic jams, where letting people in is equivalent to public embarrassment.

In Russia i saw a truck drive right through a park and people park in the middle of the street

Congratulations sir, you just made me gag,

[Fartsniffage]

If I were a Texas cop, I would not even bother staying as low as ten over...

However, if I were a driver from Texas, I would very carefully consider the consequences and chance of escape from the police...

That's a Viper, if I wanted to escape the police I'd just turn a corner, chances are the copper behind me would just wrap themselves around the nearest tree.

presumably in automobiles.

Yep, and the absolute worst ones are singing "Jesus, Take the Wheel..."

I've never much understood why, at least in my area, ones ability to:
-stay in their lane
-maintain a reasonable speed (not to fast/slow)
-use turn signals
-not attempt to side swipe cars while entering/leaving on/off ramps
-not attempt to make last minute turns from the far lane of travel
-slow down approaching cross walks
(etc)

Is inversely proportional to how many Republican, Christian and Evangelical bumper stickers are slapped on the back of the vehicle...

That's easy, it's because driving as you describe is the only way they have left of protesting Obama and the Left's imminent destruction of everything we hold dear, such as truth, justice and the American way.

Trust me, they weren't any better when "Dubya" was in office... Or Clinton, or Bush Sr. or Reagan....

Around me... Doesn't matter where, the drivers around me always suck more than the last

[Robustian]

Texas, where on average everyone, even cops, goes 10 miles per hour above the speed limit.

Uhhh... Montanans drive faster than Texans any day... and Montana has near the bottom of "deaths per mile" statistics.

Montanans figured out long ago that not posting speed limits, but citing you for bad judgement tended to cause people to drive at prudent speeds.

When the feds finally coerced Montana into a speed limit, accidents and deaths went UP, not down. Trust me, crossing eastern Montana at anything less than 90mph is an invitation to fall asleep from boredom.

Baloney. Vipers handle very good. Very, VERY good. They are, however, a driver's car, they require you to be intelligent, not rely on gizmos to make up for the skills you lack.

Thailand.

Boston drivers are fine. We just take driving as a personal full contact competative sport.

Thailand is pretty scary at times, it might not be the worst though, even riding on a tuk tuk through Bangkok (the driver was blind in at least one eye, and his hands were deformed) I didn't really feel like I was about to die, no matter how many times he swerved into the other lane and nearly hit everything around him, the point being, a blind guy with stubby hands could do it so... maybe its not really that bad.


Also, NY isn't really all that bad, I'm not sure about Manhattan, but from what I've seen its merely busy.

[Mikertaz Kein]

My favorite car happens to be a Viper. It is fast, handles well if you aren't stupid with it, and doesn't cost more than $75,000. Yes, that is still expensive, but it is much better than what you pay for a Lambo, Ferrari, or Koenigsegg.


If I weren't actually in NEED of my money, I would buy one.

For driving to be dangerous, you actually have to be GOING...




If average days in NY look like this, how can you even TRY to be a bad driver?

the speeders are fucked if they saw that coming after them!

I've heard frightening things about the drivers in India.
