Ohio - 19th, wow... from what i've seen and delt with, i would have bet on bottom 10 easy.

 

[Netgeek]

I guess people just use sled-dogs in Alaska?

 

[poopygood]

where's Hawaii?

 

[jadinolf]

I'm amazed CA's score isn't 100%.
It is sooo easy.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Hey, at least California ranks higher than NY and NJ...must be all those Asian drivers bringing our score down! I kid, I kid...:laugh:

Yep. After spending time in NY and NJ (about two weeks total), that sounds about right. Those people cannot fvcking drive safe to save their lives!

 

[cKGunslinger]

I don't understand how people *fail* this test a few times before they finally pass. I mean, they give you a pamplet with all the answers in it. Some people study this thing for weeks and still can't pass! WTF?

 

[Kelemvor]

Illinois in the bottom 10.. Wow, what a shocker.

 

[azazyel]

Washington's 2? Huh, I guess there is a difference between knowing the rules and following the rules.

Having grown up in NY and driven in NJ on many occassions I can confirm that NJ drivers are indead worse than NY drivers.

 

[ironcrotch]

!Oregon! That goes for the true Oregonians, not the recent transfers.

 

[Syrch]

41. Florida -- 81.1
WOOT! I think

 

[Mo0o]

w00t w00t #2

 

[JoLLyRoGer]

Flippin snowbirds skewed the results!:|

Oh well, we may not know how to drive, but be damn sure know how to drive fast!

#48 that does seem right

 

[rh71]

this is a written test ? Those are crap. I failed my first one then 15 minutes later (still without reading - or knowing what I got wrong) I passed it with just 1 wrong. Luck of the draw.

Road test was the true test.

I'll say this is synonymous with learning English. I learned from tv and day-to-day experience, not from English class memorizing a bunch of rules.

 

[Black88GTA]

NY, 4th from last. Sounds 100% accurate, although I don't think I'd have even given NY drivers that much credit.

Once upon a time, I thought the drivers in MI sucked balls. Then I moved here. I want MI drivers back .

 

[PrinceofWands]

Oregon amazes me...how can they score so well on the written and still have absolutely no idea how to drive???

 

[everman]

For southern CA, subtract 100 points when it rains.

part of that is due to the idea that half of NJ and 3/4 of NY don't drive. now give a test about how to survive on mass transit, these four states would be top four, in different order.
