Survey: NY Drivers Dumbest, Kansans Savviest
Apparently a New York state of mind does not include road awareness.
The Empire State ranked dead last in a new nationwide survey which shows that nearly 20 percent of licensed drivers in the U.S. would fail a written driver's exam. While New Yorkers fared the worst (70 percent average score), Kansas drivers proved the most road-savvy (82.3 percent average score), according to the study by GMAC Insurance.

Quote from the article:
The survey underscored an alarming ignorance of basic rules of the road. For example, "eight-five percent could not identify the correct action to take when approaching a steady yellow traffic light, and many remained confused by safe following distances." The annual survey polled more than 5,000 licensed Americans from 50 states and Washington, D.C. |
