    Wouldn\’t ya know it, I am just lucky enough to get behind one of these 18 million every day going to and from work. I swear that if there weren\’t defensive drivers out there, these idiots wouldn\’t be alive today.

    I suspect Michele Randall is one who would not be able to pass a driver\’s test.

    Were there any studies relating this state-by-state ranking to the drivers\’ education requirements/method in high schools? Or to the quality of each state\’s exam?

    Would be an interesting correlation.

    Got my driver\’s license when I was 34. I used to be deathly afraid to drive, having observed the driving habits of some of the residents in Southeastern PA. My sister and one of my best friends never got their licenses. There are just too many wacky, selfish and dangerous drivers in this area – Delaware County PA.
    I think people driving while on their cell phones is one of the biggest causes of poor driving. How can you concentrate on the road when you are screaming your brains out at someone at the other end of your cell phone???

    If I had a dollar for every red light run I\’d be rich in a week…I can\’t believe how bad it is on the road. I\’m all for cameras at the stop light

    This article points out the reasons why I\’m not only in favor of cameras at traffic lights and speed cameras but also periodic mandatory retesting of all drivers on the road. A driver\’s license is typically valid for five years, so make everyone have to retake the written and road tests before being handed a renewed license.

    It really is shocking the this country tolerates the daily carnage of death and destruction, a large part of which happens because of the reasons listed here. In Florida where I live we spend more time discussing alligator attacks (whick killed 3 people this year) than we do discussing the thousands of PEO ple killed on the highways. We have it all down here… old folks who forget which pedal controls the car, illegals with no licenses or insurance and young people in a hurry. It is a bad combination. Thanks for the great article. I say cameras on every intersection!

    Any coincidence that SD was ranked as having the safest drivers last week then scored 4th on this study? When I learned to drive in SD, you got ticketed for turning w/o a signal. After 20 years of driving in Boston traffic, I believe at least taking the written test year renewal should be mandatory. I can\’t believe FL does renewal thru the mail. My husbands 90yo Gma is blind but still renews her license!
