New York Official Host to America’s Worst Drivers

5/20/09 - Posted by Mara Siegler under US

A new study by insurance company GMAC has released the results of it’s annual poll examining which states drive like your legally blind grandmother. My own home residence of New York, breeding ground for foreign cabbies with a penchant for horn honking and the use of expletives, was ranked number one. Congrats!

NY Twitterers have been basking in the glory all morning. @weddingdude seemed pretty excited at being ranked the worst, offering kudos all around: “Excellent work everyone!” @lovelanewest does not want to share the honors though, stating: Coincidence? I got my driver’s license in ‘08, and now NY is ranked as having the worst drivers of any state.”

But of those being held responsible ‘Driver,’ is way ahead in the running. When interviewed by a NY1 reporter and asked what a red flashing light means, he/she stated, “Caution, slow down.” When told it actually means to put on the brakes, they merely responded, “You are? I do not stop.”

And that, my friends, is how it’s done! Also in the top five were New Jersey, New Jersey, Hawaii, California and Georgia, followed in the bottom five. Better luck next year suckas!
