Rudest Drivers in America Hail From New Jersey, Delaware

A ranking of the rudest drivers across America by Insure.com has yielded surprising results.

The heartland state of Idaho possesses the rudest drivers according to a nationwide survery of motor vehicle drivers. Yet, New Jersey (#8), Delaware (#6) and New York (#3) made the top ten list of rudest drivers. 

Some of the rudest driving behavior consists of: weaving in and out of traffic, horn honking and flipping the finger.

”People in our state love to try and pull onto the road with far less space than they should, never like to let the other car merge in, and don’t seem to realize that yellow means ‘slow down," said New Jersey resident Jason Fischback.

Fischback describes the ‘Jersey Slide’ as cutting across two or more lanes with the same blinker – if they use one at all. New Jersey drivers are most hate by New Yorkers.

Drivers in the Empire State are known to not use turn signals so drivers may not know which direction cars are turning, says Staten Islander Steven Lowell.

While New Yorkers keep drivers guessing, Delaware drivers are known to speed.

“When doing the speed limit, I should not have to wonder about the make of a vehicle behind me, due to the fact the car is tailgating me so horrifically I cannot even see its hood,” said Michelle Brammer of Bear, Delaware who commutes 9 miles to work.
