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.

yeah, they mentioned that on WTOP this morning. i jsut want to point out that I was in more accidents in Utah than I have been here. 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.

Yea, both DC and Arlington are consider some of the worse places to drive. And, SLC doesn't do so great either. It just goes to show that individual experiences driving in an area may not be representative.

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.

See, I live in the Provo/Orem area and have for many years. I've never been in an accident, even though I will admit that I'm a horrible driver.

The worse accident that I've ever been in was in Orem. I've since moved to places with better drivers.
