Per my experience, Oklahoma has the dumbest drivers, Texas and California are tied for the most aggressive drivers (but simultaneously skilled just enough to not cause mass genocide), and Virginia has the worst road layout.
There’s a big difference between drivers who only drive in rural areas and drivers who drive in crowded rush hour traffic in big cities. And, different big cities have their own challenges. As a visitor, trying to navigate LA’s freeway hell was awful, and the drivers who were used to it were not at all accommodating. But, I think LA drivers would find driving in Boston and its Masshole drivers to be hell, because it’s all about squeezing down narrow streets that come from a time before automobiles.
Never been to the east coast (that’s a goal for sure though), but I totally get that. It’s why I like driving the areas surrounding LA. People are more decisive while driving than other states up the coast. The California driver is more likely to be an asshole, yes, but one who knows what’s happening around them, makes a decision, and stick to it. My home state drives (ha) me insane with the amount of people who just seem totally checked out, either fiddling around on a cell phone or some other bullshit that shouldn’t be done while driving.
I used to be a trucker. Drive everything east of the Mississippi.
Indiana has the dumbest drivers. Never have I been to a state with a lower average i.q. Idk, it might be an environmental thing, like in the water, or too many generations of cousin fucking. But something ain’t right there. They make poor choices and have a lack of self preservation.
New england the rudest, but they’re at least predictable. When they do something rude and reckless its always in pursuit of a goal. E.g. making the next exit, turn, lane ect.
The south has the most lackadaisical drivers. They just don’t give a fuck. They’re doing what they’re doing and that’s that.
The Midwest has the nicest most considerate drivers, and as a result traffic jams are far fewer, everything just flows smoother.
Went to Texas once. Made it to Paris, was there for a couple minutes, decided to leave after almost being involved in a fatal car crash right in front of me

There’s a lot of different flavors of shit.

California I believe has the statistically worst drivers. New York id say has the most insane but skillful enough to somehow not die drivers.
I witnessed a right turn from the left lane in utah. Except the street was 4 lanes wide.
Call me weird but I enjoy driving in Manhattan. People drive at a reasonable pace.
