"The study's runner-up rudest state is the nation's capitol: Washington, D.C. A respondent who had relocated to the District of Columbia from Los Angeles compared the attitude of driving to the town's politics: "self-serving, abrasive and unsafe." Another indicated that he wished he had a nickel for every driver who couldn't be bothered to signal when switching lanes.

Rounding out the top five are New York, Wyoming, Massachusetts and Vermont."

I laughed when I read the part in bold because I deal with that every day. Also, have seen impatient drivers to the point of beeping at you when the light just turned green so they can go like 50 mph around the turn (he prob woke up late or something but that was on him).

Also very true re Mass (Massholes).

Your thoughts on the worst/rudest drivers?

Depends on your definition of "rude," honestly. If speeding and not signaling fit that definition, then a lot of east coast states will be on the list.

On the other hand, if
Other drivers suck everywhere.  Get off my road! (or at least try passing when you're in the passing lane)
applies, then drivers on the west coast, particularly the Pacific Northwest will be high on that list.

I'd have a top 5 worst of California, Oregon, Washington, Florida and Texas, but I haven't driven on the East coast at all. Michigan, for what it's worth, is the state with the least bad drivers in my experience.

The passing part applies is NoVA and DC. Most of the time they pass on the right and at least half of the passing cars don't signal at all. Also a lot of what I call leapfrog, they pass you only to get back in the same lane but ahead of you even if the traffic is slow or it's jammed. - That s urks me to no end and is pointless.
