Methodology

How do you statistically determine bad driving? We sampled incident stats from users of our website with over two million data points from 2016. To quantify over driver standards for comparison, we weighted incident counts for each city with its occurrence percentage. The final rankings are sum of weighted means calculated from these parameters:

Accidents
Speeding tickets
DUIs
Citations (running a red light, using a cellphone while driving, etc.)

CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

Poll is invalid.

The last three are influenced by the aggressiveness of the cops as much as the drivers.

Also, any "bad" driving survey would need to measure dumb shiat like driving slow in the left lane, not signaling, tailgating, road rage incidents, failure to see green lights due to cell phone use, excessive lane changing, etc. etc, etc, et all that other crap that makes for "bad" driving.

California taking 5 of the top 10. Quite impressive

And I might add, 0 of 20 on the other side.

Miami is the closest to driving in a third world country as I've ever seen. Stop signs, traffic lights, turn signals, none of that means anything.

The drivers in my city are much worse than the drivers in your city. Here they go too fast or too slow, and they never use blinkers! Also sometimes they just drive crazy!

This is a very useful list for showing how many cops per resident a city pays to have on traffic duty. Not much else.

The worst I've ever experienced, by far, is Knoxville.

For real though, my money's on Lubbock just because of all the people from Eastern New Mexico taking in the sights of the big city. If a car there does something stupid, you can almost guarantee they have an ugly yellow license plate.

Houston is on that list solely because there's non-stop traffic jams. Nearly impossible to get cited for speeding or DUI when your car can only move about 5 ft per minute.

I also noticed lots of conservative states in the best list. Probably because they value hard work more, so they work really hard at keeping things moving nice and orderly?

And the deadly combination of Tech kids from Dallas and grandpa farmers from Lazbuddie.

This list is based on number of tickets written. Can't get a ticket if there aren't any cops around to write the ticket.

This list is completely screwed up.

Houston = super aggressive and dumb
San Antonio = regular aggressive, dumb and 50/50 chance they're drunk

Houston drivers, do me a favor... start paying attention to the people who camp out in the left lane. In my anecdotal experience its middle-aged to older white men (often in o&g jumpsuits) and black women.

See, in SA, the fast lanes are the middle ones. The outer lanes are the slower ones. Dumb, yes. But once you incorporate that, you will be much happier.

Dallas is very bad. Slow drivers everywhere on every major road. Going 15 under the speed limit for no reason.

On that comment, driving in Denver, the amount of speed limit driving, cautious drivers is ridiculous. Maybe that's called 'bad' driving (especially if you're from texas), but after 4+ years of commuting in this town, I rarely see wrecks on the interstate during commute times... so it can't be that 'bad'. It's only bad if you're an aggressive driver, which is bad.

Worst Drivers by Stereotype and Personal Experience:

1. Asian women. Dangerously slow. Like to stop where there are no stop signs.
2. Black women. Aggressive. Erratic. Only know 2 speeds: stop and go. Change lanes w/ no warning.
3. Indian women. Slightly better than Asian women.
4. Hispanic women. Unable to see lane stripes. Veer all over the road.
5. Asian men. Slightly better than Asian women.
