I missed 3 of the 20. And MD got Number 46! There was something on the news a few weeks back about how Baltimore is number one in road rage. From my personal experience, the Accord and Camry drivers are far more dangerous than any other car as a whole. At least in this area...

I got 80%, and Vermont was ranked #3. Although i did grow up in maine which was ranked 32. But i was born in Mass which is #48. Yup that's it. I'll blame it on Mass!

I would not say us Mass drivers are dumb, I like to think we're more on edge or over it

well today while driving into the center of Westboro on east main st (firerwatcher can relate to this I'm sure) the traffic is slow but moving along...lots of stores and such where people are looking to pull out into the traffic...well I'm the guy that lets them pull out into the line, its not like its going anywere fast, well after the 6th or 7th person I let pull out (by the way I never come to a complete stop to let these people out, I just slow enough for them to get out safely and I didn't let 6 or 7 car pull out all at one time, it over a 1/2 mile of road)...the guy behind me is freaking out like crazy...and he passes me on the right, he even goes up on the side walk to do so (might have been because I moved over to block, NASCAR mind ya know), of course he is swearing at me like a drunk sailor (no offence to drunk sailors out there) but as he looks over to flip me off he realizes he knows me and shuts up and gets back behind me.....

100%, but in Illinois the real problem is anyone driving while talking on the cell phone...A lady left turns in front of me while talking on cell phone, the State Police said that if I hadn't cut the wheel right before impact I may have completely cut her vehicle in half, as it was I broke bones in my hand and wrist, put her in the hospital for a week and destroyed her car and my Ranger work truck...

National Drivers Test - Results
Your score was: 100%
A score of 70% or better is considered passing on a state written drivers test

Whats so hard about the test. I learned all of that in high school, just common sense. If you want a hard test, make them parallel park a full size pick-up in the French Quarter.

Mississippi Drivers

Well I scored 90 on the test but I will tell you its my experience that the drivers here in MS may know the rules but they sure as heck don't follow them. I can't count the number of times I have barely avoided an accident due to some idiot with a drivers license doing something really stupid like making a right turn from the left lane of a 4-lane highway with his/her left turn signal on. I went to the DMV not long ago to renew my DL and there was a person there taking their written test. Her mother was reading the questions/answers to her. I asked the officer in the back what was going on and Her reply was "The girl does not know how to read", WTF , you can't read but we will give you a DL anyway. What is going on here. Last time I checked Driving was a privledge not a right. If you can't read then maybe your parents money would better be spent getting you an education..

I scored 90%....What I find really dangerous are people of short stature (no offense intended for those that are) driving humongous SUV's. Example this morning I almost got sideswiped passing a Lincoln Navigator being driven by a person who could hardly look over the dashboard. But the type of driver I hate the most is the one that drive's as if they're totally oblivious to others on the road.
