City with the worst drivers? Login/Join

posted Hide Post
I recently moved to FL.

I will say - I am shocked at how bad the drivers are here collectively. I have had more 'head shaking' experiences here in 6 months than 13+ years last place I lived in NC.

Crazy. I suspect it has to do with heavy presence of central / south american drivers of questionable skill. but who knows.

Before the immigrant invasion it was New Orleans. Everybody had a dented fender or two.

My wife thought Atlanta. I said they aren’t bad drivers, they are highly skilled, just assholes.

Yep, Rome is mere child's play compared to Naples.

NYC or LA. Both horrible in my experience.

Oh, and anywhere in the UK. I know it was mostly my problem but those nutjobs drive on the wrong side of the road. Wink

I thought Mexico City was rather exciting. It's not for the faint at heart.

I wasn't driving at the time I lived there, circa mid-60's, but the streets of Tehran were terrifying. I suspect little has changed.

We spent 2 weeks in Italy more than 40 years ago. Traffic was about the worst I have ever seen, and that includes several middle eastern countries.

Kathmandu. It's not just the drivers, but the water buffalo in the streets. And the sacred cows who just plop down and sit in the road wherever they like, often in the busiest traffic-- which causes some very... erratic... driving. No one stops for a stop sign, ever. There are no lanes, or any real rules of driving. Horns are tooted constantly.

I had a Nepali driver's license, and I drove in Kathmandu on my driver's day off. Once.

Catania, Sicily.

I've ridden in cabs all over the world. That was the only place I was honest to goodness frightened. Traffic rules are for people who can't drive, according to the driver. LOL. We didn't die, so maybe there was something to it.

Any AZ city, any time of the year is bad. All the out of state people who have moved here bring there bad driving habits with them.

Everyone's in a big BFH to get to the next red light.


If people would mind their own damn business this country would be better off. I owe no one an explanation or an apology for my personal opinion.

Miami hands down. There are drivers from every shithole third world country driving there with all their bad habits. They drive what ever speed they choose in what ever lane they choose. Where they come from the left lane may be the slow lane and they drive the same here. Oh, I missed my exit, let me just make a right turn across 4 lanes of traffic. Turn signals and stop signs are just suggestions. Hey, let's rent a car and drive to Disney World! In Miami you must drive as defensive as you can!
