Idaho!!!!

Yup Idaho. Go figure. Must be something to do with all the potatoes I'm guessing.

This is according to a survey done by Insure.com

According to Insure.com:

The roadways of Idaho present a dichotomy of drivers: Those who are moving so slowly that they’re judged to be rude, and the aggressive drivers who speed around them and flip them off. Together, with their opposite yet equally vexing styles of driving, they push Idaho to the top of the rankings.

Remember Matt Stubbs, formerly of Utah?  He recently moved to Idaho and was amazed by the number of drivers holding up everyone behind them, moving at turtle-like speed, reminiscent of an old-fashioned Sunday drive.

“Maybe I’m just used to the aggressive, overly-caffeinated (on Diet Coke) Utah drivers. That’s why everyone in Idaho seems to be driving so slowly,” he says.

Stubbs observes that Idahoans feel “just fine taking their time, driving 5 to 10 miles an hour under the limit.”

This creates additional tension when fast drivers are added to the mix. Idaho resident Eric Leins, a Southern California native, points to the state’s mountainous, rural areas as a source of driver conflict. Those familiar with certain roads may not be very patient with drivers new to the twisting, turning roadways.

“If you’ve driven that hundreds of times, you know [the road] and pick up your speed,” he says.  “So those driving them for the first time may have the experienced drivers honking their horns and flipping them the bird,” he says.

 

Don't think that New Jersey didn't make the top 10. We came in 8th as the state with the rudest drivers.
