There are really bad drivers everywhere but most of those bad drivers don't live in big cities because if they did they would learn to move real fast or they would get shot!! (well maybe just honked at alot)

I agree! Between T-Rex making people crazy and the college kids I deal with driving in Boulder it's got to be way up there. I can't remember a day I drove or rode to work and didn't have some maggot tailgatting me.

Like I said, all them other folk in Cali must have raised it.

When I visited California to see my brother and his family, I noticed that the Californians drive pretty good and fast!! So in colorado, most of the transplants come from three states: California (where the drivers aren't too bad), Illinois (where I'm from and I know they drive good there), and Texas (which must explain all off the bad drivers here in Colorado!!)

No prob. I think on a PC it's "ctrl + alt + PrintScreen" and you could take a picture of the whole screen and edit it in MS Paint. You'd have to "paste" it in Paint to get it there, but it's easy enough, I'm guessing.
I use a Mac so it's easier to do that kind of thing.

To add to the thread, a high score doesn't necessarily mean good driving.
Washington was rated number two in the test, but through my daily driving, I've noticed horrible courtesy and reallllllly slow drivers in the left lane that don't ever move over.
I've driven down to California a few times and the driving gets better the further south you go. Actually, driving gets considerably better in the Tacoma area because of all the Military folks there. They drive fast and aggressive, (like me), and move out of your way (most of the time) if you're in the L/H lane coming up quick. Seattle area, North..., holy crap are they the most discourteous drivers around. They're the vigilante types who want to slow everybody down. jerks

You got that right. Knowing what you are supposed to do and actually doing are two totally different things.

I guess I know why insurance in the DC metro area is so expensive compared to Idaho (last state I lived in). Probably explains the third worst traffic in the country as well. Can't wait to move...four months and counting.

I would have said Michigan drivers... but the more I thought about it: maybe they should also get a "worst roads" award.

Transplants from Cali and Texas are the single greatest threat to Colorado roads. As soon as a single flake of snow hits the ground they start driving like retards. 5 mph on the high way and steering with their @$$. It's like they have a psychotic break.

I've never driven in Illinois, but I have to question the sanity of any state's people who call themselves "mid west" when they are in fact "back east"...
