It could be worse, you could be agreeing with me.  ?

 

(Even my daughter's mom hated to speak those words, and she was no liberal).

    I can't believe I'm going to say this but I agree with @MyTwoSense.  My mother lives in Dallas and I go about twice a year and yes, the drivers REALLY DGAF.  They use service roads for highways.

Because motorists never speed, change lanes without signaling, cut across more than one lane in a single motion, follow the car ahead too closely, etc.....

 

Or, from the cyclists' perspective, motorists never throw things at cyclists, try to cut them off on purpose, bump them so they crash, or even intentionally run them over to hurt or kill them. Then they claim it was an accident and never face punishment. But yeah, cyclists are the real problem out there.

I'm in Barcelona right now.  The drivers are speed demons but somehow everyone knows what they are doing. Lots and lots of bike lanes and everyone co-exists peacefully.

Hah!  It ought to be one of the easiest times in history to pass that test (as opposed to actually having to drive in real Atlanta traffic).

I laughed too, lol. Even though their car is probably totaled from flood damage. If there's no sign up warning about it, I would probably try to sue the city, though since you can't really tell how deep the water is going to be. 

They couldn't figure out how to re-direct the storm water run-off to a retention pond? In 2021 it shouldn't even be an issue. I'm sure pumps and tubes do the trick. If it's a project that concerns the actual functionality and safety of a city, there's never any money for it. They'll find half a billion dollars to build a stadium, though! Not speaking on England particularly, but in general.

I am trying to figure out what happened here. 2 of 3 vehicles here somehow made a wrong move, btu I can't figure out which 2!

I don't know about cities, but certain brands of car seem to be more recklessly operated than others.  This yar's super-agressive drivers seem to prefer Audis. Previous winners here in Maryland had been Tesla, Jeep, BMW, and Honda (when fitted with a spoiler and glass packs).

I'd like to nominate the residents of Clark Fulton as the worst drivers in America.

You'll adapt. And then you'll have a friend or family member in your car while you're tooling around, and they will be white knuckling the S*%$ out of themselves. 

 

I just tell my wife "That's city driving, babe."

Lol I swear it's only that neighborhood. They're reckless in their numerous moving violations, but once within the roadway proceed to go 8-10 MPH under the speed limit

Having just spent time in Boston, I have to revise my opinion of Boston drivers.  Compared to Ohio, there were noticeably fewer red-light runners, and pedestrians are treated with much more respect.   My view is confined to central Boston.  When I was in Boston in  1999  I would have ranked them the worst.  Now my view is:  If I could afford to live in Boston, I'd move there.

What's up with the Great Lakes states? Given how many buildings I see get hit in Cleveland it blows me away how bad drivers are around here and in neighboring states. What shocks me is how many buildings get hit. How do you morons crash into a building?

The amount of sharp changes across state lines suggest to me that data was not collected, recorded, and/or processed uniformly in every state. As such, I doubt you can draw much of any conclusions about drivers in different states from this map.
