Saw the video - which European country is that then, given that it shows traffic driving on the left, not the right? It's sure as hell not Britain or Ireland - the only two EU states I know where they drive on the left.

Nice troll though.

Washington DC is way WAY more rude than LA.

LA drivers aren't rude. They're speeding.

Possibly not Europe, but Asia...Looks like India (Shrugs)? Didn't Britain train them to drive?

(I'm basing this assumption off the HP Gas truck, which is Hindustan Petroleum)

I doubt that Britain taught driving to anyone in your video, as India has been independent from Britain since 1947.

Yes it looks as if it could be India - certainly not Europe. But don't bother to amend your remark which suggests it IS Europe. I'd hate to see a good troll spoilt by the facts.

I'm shocked Atlanta didn't even make the list. When I lived there, it was nothing for someone to come zooming by & knock off your mirror with theirs & not even slow down.

[Saintaw]

India in Yurop, of course!

Beet, truth to be told... that's pretty close to how I remember Swindon's magic roundabout. My ex-wife would drive all round town to avoid that one... it was sporty alright to go through there.

There's an even scarier version at High Wycombe, very close to where Batfink lives. It's OK when you know what you're doing an provided good turn signals are given. It just seems weird.

Though it's been 9-10 years I spent several months in Manahattan and found the drivers there to be much more courteous than those of my native Dallas.

Yup, that is India.

They aren't rude over there, they just drive like it is their last day on earth and honk their horns ALOT.

Considering the standard of living...for alot of them it IS their last day on earth!

Those dweebs that wrote this article have obviously never driven in the city now referred to in the south as yankee land...

[Sparks]

LA is the only place I have driven where the women are more agressive in a car than the men - they're frikkin phsyco !!!

How does someone go about making this list..

"Today I was only moderately offended when someone spat a racial slur at me, after I gave him the middle finger. I score this a 3 out of 10 on my rude meter."

[Sixpence]

What? There is no way people in Phoenix can be as rude as Boston drivers, I find that hard to believe
