Pacific Northwest has the best drivers?
GMAC recently commisioned a study of driver knowledge. Here are the scores:
These are the average scores on a 20-question driver’s test administered to more than 5,000 licensed drivers in a survey commissioned by the GMAC Insurance.Nation — 82.7
1. Oregon — 89.4
2. Washington — 88.4
3. Iowa — 87.7
4. Idaho — 87.5″
If the drivers around here represent the best, I feel really sorry for the rest of you…
Yep. A stretch of highway in Florida, US19, recently had the honors as being named the most dangerous highway in the USA. Tampa Florida was listed by another survey as having the most dangerous drivers in the USA. I moved out of the immediate Tampa Bay area a couple of years ago to get away from these nuts but damn if they have not seemed to follow me here on west central coast. Accidents are usually mechanically caused: by a loose nut under the wheel.
