    Try running US 395 in the two lane section down to Hesperia. There are some CRAZY people that run that.

    Let's not forget the upper Mid-West. Wisconsin and Twin Cities have some real doozies. Any state with a medical mj law. Actually, for as busy as Cal. is, on a recent visit, people are pretty good, but the worst places I've traveled through, hands down, has to be Atlanta or Florida (with all the old folks), as I stay clear of any eastern cities.

    I agree, I had one yesterday with no traffic behind me come out of now where, speed up to pass me, cut me off with inches between us then about fifty feet from me she slams on the brakes just to get into a gas station. I thought the truck and the load would be in her front seat. BARELY missed hitting her.

    The other thing I have to add is in all my travels in the country, I have never seen Canadian driver us long off and on ramps to pass people as I have here in my state. It is bizarre to see a truck whip into the off ramp lane, speed up and pass someone.

    I know it isn't a "state" but the people in the GTA or Greater Toronto Area make Michigan drivers look like amateurs.

    they wouldn't know a speed limit if they wanted to.
    It's common to take a right hand exit from the far left lane.
    They're invulnerable because most drive pickups
    They are a loving bunch and show it by crawling up your tail
    They don't need exit (or entrance) ramps. Those pickups go right across those grass strips onto the frontage road
    Stop signs are for out of staters
    Green lights mean go fast. Yellow lights mean go faster, Red lights mean Go with caution

    I think FatDaddy is right. I used to think Miami, but then I went to Dallas, but what about California and then there's the Twin Cities. Heck, they are all bad and not going to get better. You see the ads for cars that give drivers the impression that the driver no longer has to pay attention cause the car will do that for him.
