Philly at 2?! Im guessing the Boulevard & Bustleton is making up alot of them stats then :lol: Cuz them 2 alone are some death traps
 
No way NY is at 23, you automatically have to start doing 90 once you hit the GW to match traffic. List is more the list of cities with people willing to let an app collect your driving data for free.

Which is weird because the app is only to list close close gas stations. I gotta get into the data business :smh:
 
Austin drivers aren't that bad. Houston has more aggressive drivers by far and San Antonio has THEE worst case of red-light-runners. And I've lived in each city for at least a year.

Sacramento drivers are a lot slower and passive than LA/SD. Driving in SF is weird because there arent a lot of freeways, where you tend to see people be the most aggressive.
 
thought Detroit would be 1 or 2. damn near afraid to cut anyone off in the city especially freeways, been too much shootings on the freeway and **** lately :smh: :smh:

Yeah y'all deserve that number one spot if that going down :lol:

I have never heard of that occurring anywhere
 
Baltimore should be higher, certain parts of the city aggressive is the default way to drive

ATL right where it should be, everything about driving is terrible down here
 
Sounds like he's referring to an intersection without the green arrow. If you have to wait until it's clear, it can be tricky.
I need to look up the rules on 4 way stop signs with multiple Lanes. I get thrown off and never look it up.
