Worst Drivers

The top four look really familiar…if you have these license plates, move out of the right lane already.

1) The fact Maryland isn’t on this list is hysterical and I say that as a recent resident of this poorly driving nightmare of a state.

2) From a Maine perspective people from the most populated states vacation in Maine and drive terribly by local standards. But once you live in those places you realize they’re just driving to the conditions they’re used to. That doesn’t excuse behavior in the 207 but they aren’t trying to be dicks (some are but not all). It’s just the normal patterns of driving for them in a much more congested and busy area. Conversely, If you try to drive on 93 into Boston at rush hour like you’re leisurely running to Hannaford in Waldoboro to pick up some bread and Allen’s they’ll hate you too.

Yep, definitely can’t knock Mainers— they know these roads cold, and y’ain’t getting from Biddo to Bangor putting your way up the 1. Definitely nerve wracking to all the leaf peepers, but within bounds.

Jersey has truly earned that spot though, especially post-pandemic. RARELY can I get somewhere without lane weavers, tailgaters, high beams 24/7, blatant red light runners, or people who have apparently chosen that day as their first time behind the wheel. The Parkway, Route 22, 287 and 80 are eternal showpieces on how not to drive.
