U.S. rudest drivers

Well, if gunning the engine everytime they see a pedestrian is considered rude, I have to say Preston, England's drivers are pretty awful...  Quite remarkable I ever got out of there alive!

Boston's drivers aren't rude so much as the driving culture is.  TAKE TAKE TAKE! NO BLINKERS! NO HORNS! GUN IT GO GO GO!

It would be a blast if it weren't for the fact that Boston's road system is the biggest maze in the nation.

Thats why when I got stationed at dam neck, I moved to a house where I wasn't required to use I-264 or I-64 anymore.

Rude here is shooting a hole in a guys brand spankin new spinner wheels, not waiting for the target to roll his window down before firing, therefore wrecking a good tint job..jeez what pikers.

Having been to Detroit, I can actually picture that scenario with no problem.  lol

I generally got the impression that most folks there would just as soon shoot you as talk to you, unless it required actual effort to shoot you.  Then just kicking or punching your teeth in would do.

Great hockey fans there though.

Nice troll though.


Having driven all over the U.S., Britain, Canada and the Middle East... The U.S has cornered the rude category, Britain the stupid category, and the Saudi the "Driver's Shouldn't" category.

I prefer rude drivers.  Courteous drivers slow down traffic.

I know that a red traffic light in Okinawa means 3 more cars and in Korea it means electricty is being wasted.

When I was in 'Nam. The worst drivers were in Hanoi. The Saigonese claimed they were better drivers, but I think less worse is the correct term there.  I took this video in  Saigon. The quality is rubbish but you get the idea. Note the tourist on the crossing. That is the recommended method for crossing the road in Vietnam. Walk slowly to allow time for the drivers to miss you. It works but is scary.
