The answer is absolutely stunning. ::)

South Carolina is rated about right. Thoughtless, brainless acts occurring on the roads consistently.

I understand now why my insurance is so high when I'm a good driver.
 
It's not you, KG. It's the other mental giants occupying the roads in your corner of the world.
 
Georgia is just about right. Disastrous mix of speed demons (I'm one, FWIW) and paste-eating morons. You're either going 30 over or under.

Virginia drivers have been overrated immensely in this survey.

Holy **** they have. I'd put Virginia way ahead of DC and Maryland. I've lived on both sides of the Potomac and it's not even close.

There's no way you can safely do the speed limit on I-285. Do you remember that stunt the college kids did where they took up every lane and did the speed limit?

Yep. Nearly got killed in about five minutes.
 
OK, there is no way that Michigan is not in the bottom 10 either. Not only do they not know any of the rules of driving, they absolutely refuse to practice them and come up with their own creative ones: like turning right from the left turn lane three lanes over. And honestly, you can never go fast enough for these people. You can be in the middle lane of a six-lane expressway going 80 and someone is coming around you (always on the right, of course) going like 100.
 
Doesn't really matter where you are, really. I think probably 10-15 percent of those who have licenses can actually drive worth a **** in any given state. It's a shame when you have to assume everyone next to you on the road can't drive well and doesn't understand basic things like get out of the left lane unless you're passing someone.
 
Apparently, Texans' absolute refusal to use their directionals didn't count against them in this survey.
 
Dead on about New York (especially the city). Of course, lanes about as narrow as Sean Hannity's mind and merging lanes shorter than Danny DeVito don't help, but driving in NYC is a martial art.

And I echo the sentiments about Georgia in general and I-285 in particular.
