Thought this was funny and interesting at the same time

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - The tiny state of Rhode Island still ranks rock bottom in terms of driving knowledge, according to a national test conducted by GMAC Insurance. Oregon drivers answered the most questions correctly.

Wow, i thought it was just my imagination that ppl drove bad on that road trip. I went through 6 of the bottom 11 states on a "vacation" when i got back my hands were sore for a week from all of the white knuckle driving.

Also tells you stay a few lanes away from anyone with a tag from one of those states just to be on the safe side

This is one of the questions from the test.....

10. If you have trouble seeing other vehicles because of dust, precipitation, or smoke blowing across the roadway, you should drive slower and turn on your_______: (Select one)

a. Parking lights
b. Interior lights
c. Headlights

What about your "hazard" or "blinkers"? That seems to be the first choice to many here in So Fl.
