Nope. I could care less. I was ripping on Iowa, and some Iowanian (or whatever they call themselves) thought he could insult me in retaliation by ripping on the worst state in the country, Michigan.

I've heard the same thing, ironically. I think it was on Wikipedia, also, so if you're ever writing a college paper on Kansas, you can say that, and cite Wikipedia as a source.

The worst drivers (IMO) are in Orlando, FL and Ann Arbor, MI. That's just in the U.S. though, in their native habitat, South Koreans can't drive worth a ****.

It's so bad in S Korea, actually, that the tow trucks wait on the side of the highway. In my 7 months of living over there, I never once saw a car accident on a Korean highway that DIDN'T involve AT LEAST 5 cars. I swear, they drive like it's Fast and the Furious or something, except they all drive ****ty cars.

In kansas, they don't teach you how to use your turn signal or that it's less safe to travel way under the speed limit. Also, you are allowed to make a right turn from a left lane. And if a car is in the lane next to you on the highway, just go ahead and merge and they will get outta your way.

Mizzery drivers are the worst by far, ever been downtown? jesus f*cking christ.

I can't believe they still have the internets up there...

I'll make sure to make a driving video in my small little town of Waterloo, IA and show you the massive lack of traffic lights and stop signs.

I should drive threw basset It is one road.

Kinda sounds like you where being an ass not letting some one merge.

He tried to but in the end the pole stopped it. He just shut it down. Haha. But still I would say he does have some balls tho.

Classic....

I've travelled around the country a good bit and well.I believe the folks around here may be the worse drivers. Being up here where the pilgrims landed, we have roads that can look like a pretzel. Some of the oddest intersection ideas invented by woman (no f'n man woulda come up with that chit) and general chaos. Boston and NYC are the craziest driving I've experienced.

In Misery no one drives...they crash. Really messed up state from the visit I had there. Everyone drinks 1/7th of their paycheck each night and the place closes up shop by 9pm.

Havn't been to MO, but I agree NYC and Boston have some of the craziest drivers I've seen. Been to NYC more, but one of the times in Boston, a group of kids driving a ****box were impatient waiting at a red light honking their horn and then a few seconds later, jumped the curve throwing sparks in every direction from their car and ran the red light.

+1 more for residing in Iowa. I also have a very good friend who designs the hoods for John Deere tractors......no lies.
