    There's a little trick to driving around Atlanta, when you start your day
    slam the door on your hand, then you'll be I the correct frame of mind
    to drive as the locals do.
    PS. If it's raining slam it twice.

    Central FL #1. No surprise I-4. ‘Hey let’s stop for no reason and take off real fast”

    Lived there awhile. I hated, like dreaded having to actually go to the store seriously

    I'm surprised 99 in California is no longer on the list. It held the #1 spot for a number of years. I still hate driving on it. Guess everyplace else got worse.

    The problem with the Dallas area is the 635 beltway. There is NO WAY the speed limit there should be 75mph. It is like a death race. I blame the DOT for that.
     
    Magoo1968, nredfor88 and Linte_Loco Thank this.

    The stretch of I 10 in the Florida panhandle between mm 50 and 130 is known as the twilight zone. It’s at the 10 -12 hour driving time from either south Florida or east Texas.
    The numbers of wrecks from people falling asleep on the stretch is amazing.
    And normally a large pine tree stops you from going to far into the woods.
     
    Blue jeans, gekko1323 and Linte_Loco Thank this.

    Well, texas sure, but the south in general, when you look at the larger map and say 75 and 65, its a stark contrast between deaths in the northern states versus the south, 75 particularly is of note, 1700+ miles, but most fatalities are in the southern 600 miles.
