Title: How bad is your driving?

I though this was an interesting list because it seems to me that everyone seems to think that the drivers were they live are the worse. Well, thanks to statistics, we can at least have an idea of whose lives among the worse drivers. E and Jeffe, I'm starting to worry about your safety.

Also, that's just the 200 largest cities. That means Provo wasn't included, even if it is the 2nd largest city in Utah.

Also, I work and Jeffe lives in Arlington, which is 2 steps better than DC.

I was suprise that Provo/Orem was not on the list because it usually does make lists like this. (Yes, Provo/Orem isn't as small as people from LA, DC and NYC think it is.) It is was on the list, I would guess that it wouldn't be one of the safer places to drive, but I could be wrong.
