How are the drivers in your state?

Everyone says, "Drivers in [your state] are the worst." Well let me tell you, I've lived in many states and I always thought the drivers were insane. In KY we lived in a rural location and it wasn't as bad. We were only 65 miles out of Nashville so we would go down there every so often and I would think they were the worst drivers. Again, let me tell you!! Drivers in Utah are insane!! I will not get onto the interstate because they will literally run you off the side of the road. They won't move over even if there's plenty of room to move over. I drive in the city and they're almost as bad there. So, what are the drivers like in your state?

I think they're good here. I know when rush hour is, so I avoided driving at those times. I no longer have a car. So, I don't worry about other drivers as much. Welcome to myLot.

Thank you. In KY, living rurally the only issue was getting behind the Amish and their horse and buggy. There could be 3 cars coming as I was trying to pull out of a parking lot I would be, "Omg, where are all these people coming from." I love Utah, the beauty and the outdoor activities but my goodness, their drivers need to take a driving course!

@marymary621 We have Amish here too. It's rare when I see them on the road. I'm glad you enjoy the beauty and outdoor activities in Utah. I think the people in Guam could give them a run for their money. They are the worst drivers I've encountered.

@just4him One of my friends from KY *adopted their little girl from Utah. I've told my other friends who still live in KY to beware once the little girl begins driving. They laugh, and I do too, but my goodness it's possible it's ingrained. LOL, I don't really believe that but you know....

Kentucky isn’t bad, honestly. I completely agree with you about Nashville. I used to joke about leaving Nashville so I could slow down to the speed limit (because if you drive the speed limit in Nashville you’re going to need a new rear bumper). Texas is a trip. The left (“fast,” “passing”) lane is usually clogged with people going 15 MPH under the speed limit. Least favorite big cities to drive in (that I’ve been to) are Atlanta, Dallas, and Orlando. I’d rather tackle the Dan Ryan in Chicago at rush hour than drive in Orlando.

I lived in Casselberry which is a suburb of Orlando and every morning people were in a rush to get to work. People driving fast, cutting lanes, and I worked off of the OBT (LOL) and on the way home there was always so much traffic that it was insanity just trying to get home. At the light off of the ramp where I got off or onto, the line for that light would be clear down into the traffic, making so much traffic slow. I am so glad to be away from there. My daughter lives in a suburb out of Dallas and I don't even want to know how crazy that traffic is and with my 15 year old granddaughter driving now it really makes me worry. Nashville is a hoot. But even those drivers don't compare with the Salt Lake City drivers. I've told my husband those drivers are so used to driving on snow that they don't know what it's like to drive in a straight line.

Swiss drivers are pretty good drivers, usually they also respect the rules, but we have many tourists here, so it's better to be careful.

Most drivers are good. But still many idiots.

Drivers in India are good. They are a bit hot in temperament. But otherwise they are fine

Ours is bad but not horrible. Some of the drivers tend to drive too fast even when a civilian is clearly traversing through a pedestrian lane. Some do not observe the proper use of each lanes, especially the bicycle lanes. There has been a few cases where cars would traverse through the bicycle lanes because of the traffic.
