I would say Illinois, followed by New Mexico. Oddly, the best drivers IMO are in New York.

I haven't driven in a lot of states but Huston TX was pretty crazy. No body in my small town can drive. There is a wreck a day around here. Mostly college kids.

Michigan is the worst. They're the worst at everything. I wish Michigan could be revoked its statehood.

Florida drivers are pretty bad. Mostly because of all the old people, that have no business being behind the wheel of car. Snowbird season is the worst. I-4 around rush hour is also jackass central.

Drivers in Floriduh are hands down worst in the nation, locals drive completely reckless, blue hairs cross 6 lanes w/no signals, and tourists thrown in the mix make some highways downright deadly.

And medians w/no left turn lanes cause a lot of rear end collisions.

Meh, there are pretty bad drivers everywhere. The worst place I can recall, was northeastern France. But a 'State', IL is bad, California is awful, and I would put Arizona and Missouri above IL for different reasons. IL is just bad, because a) people flip out over any change of weather on the road. b) the weather changes a lot.

The roads suck in the entire state, but I didn't think the drivers in New Mexico were all that bad once I got out of Albuquerque.

Arizona is worse.... Phoenix & Scottsdale 100x so.

With 99% of people texting and surfing the internet while they drive, it doesn't matter where you are -- most people suck at driving. Trust me, I'm with customers on test drives every single day. It's absurd.

Illinois - ESPECIALLY THE BURBS (people don't even bother using turn signals for turning or changing lanes, at all)

Indiana is pretty bad, especially around INDY.

Kansas was pretty treacherous when I was on a roadtrip.

The best drivers I experienced sharing the road with was in Texas. Drivers in Ohio and Kentucky seem pretty patient and considerate but Texas was downright friendly. People on the expressway will pull over to the shoulder and wave as you pass by if you are in a hurry. Never seen shit like that before and I was kind of freaked out.

Never been to New Mexico. I've never driven in NY.

Everything this man said is truth. Listen to his wise words, brethren.
