[...] While it seems some Texans believe they?re the best drivers on the road, a new study says otherwise. More from: http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2011/1… [...]

File under, “No s–t!

It wasn’t that way back in the day. I believe it is all those damn transplants.

…illegal transplants.

Rudest drivers in America in Texas. Trust me I see them every single day!

moved here from mich and thought it was bad there. I think Texans just arent used to the wide open spaces now being highways and roads.

This survey LOST all credibility when it listed RI, MA, and CT ans the top 3. Having lived in both DFW and New England. I can the drivers there are 10X worse than anything I saw in DFW. Massachusetts residents are called Mass @$$es for a reason. Driving is one of them. Providence, RI, Warwick and Cranston drivers are not much better. So I call BS on this survey.

I wonder how they factor in all the drunk illegal aliens? Hmmmm…

Could it be that every road is under construction? A normal drive is twice as far? Out of state people not knowing where to turn? 5 mph under the speed limit does not fly here?

this is not surprise considering that 10% of those on the road are illegals with no clue how to do anything but hit and run and 30% are transplants from someplace up north where not only did they import their bad driving habits but they imported all of their other nasty habits as well.

Before CBS goes and copies a survery done by someone else, they should really take a look at how the survery is obviously skewed…..

Quote from the website…

“But it’s worth noting that the data also reflects how much people drive. For example, a small state with a major urban center, like Massachusetts, will have lots of residents, but many of them won’t be getting behind the wheel, which helps skew the numbers in their favor. Compare this to states that don’t have a lot of public transportation. They’re going to have higher traffic fatalities practically by default.?

Walk up to 50 people and ask them where they grew up. I bet 2 might be native Texan and 10 will be Mexican.

There are no bad drivers or racist morons in Texas. Yeeeeeehaw!!!!!

Only because there are millions of people from other states & countries here. When I was a kid, there wasn’t even trash along the roads – now it’s everywhere. Drivers are rude & inconsiderate now but weren’t before everyone in the world started moving here. Everyone cannot live here. Go home !!!

It’s all these illegals.

I’m a native Texan and I admit it, the drivers here suck. People speed thru school zones and then slow down when the school zone isn’t on. They pull out in front of you, drive 15 mph slower than you and take their time getting up to the speed limit. They drive slow in the far left lane and will stay right with a car in the right lane rather than speed up or slow down to get out of your way. They won’t pull over for you to pass either, many things that can be named… Driving under the speed limit while there is a line of cars behind them. I probably do a lot of things to annoy people as well but just saying…

If it’s Texans then why is it the non-Texans who drive crazy on the ice here? Next big ice storm here, start asking what state/country all those in wrecks are from. Willing to bet most aren’t Texans who caused the wrecks.

Just because there’s more claims in a particular state doesn’t mean those making claims are from that state – or even American for that matter. Just another attention-grabbing article. A true Texas patriot the writer is tho..

Obviously you’ve never driven in Grand Prairie (not the interstates but actually through the city).
