This isn't surprising. I've been here for over a decade now and it's pretty bad.

Agreed...not surprising in the least. People here act like they're playing Mario Kart pretty much 24/7. 

maybe in the state of Ohio, but IMO, the worst drivers in the country are the morons from that state up north--I live on the border, so I have to contend with these idiots daily...they're horrible

One of the most perplexing things to me is when it's nearly dark outside or raining hard and people don't have their lights turned on. 

The only memorable thing from when I lived in Cincinnati was that if you were the first person at a stop light, you had .37 seconds from when the light turned green until the guy behind you laid on the horn.

I am stunned that Toledo is 66/200.  At one point Toledo had the highest ratio of accidents in the nation.  Reason being of intersection of two major interstates, and no choice heading SE/NW due to the lake.

Yeah Cincy drivers suck, doesn't help that the interstate is hilly and curvy

And always under construction 

In all my travels for work, I find NJ drivers to be the worst.

I have driven in Cincy and I agree the drivers suck.  I have also driven in many of those places listed below Cincy.  I can safely say that DC, Newark, Baltimore, Anaheim, LA, Torrance, Alexandria, and Pasadena are all easily worse than Cincy. 

What gets me about Cincinnati driving is that it's a nightmare jam BOTH north and south on 71 during rush hour. 

In my experience, the most obnoxious drivers are in Providence RI, followed by the Mass-holes.

Interesting about the California cities. I’ve never had an issue in that state. The traffic is a nightmare, but the drivers all kind of accept it and are not very aggressive. Merging is never an issue, etc. Everyone knows it’s gonna take 2 hours to get to destination and accepts it lol.

The freeway is pretty aggressive imo.   I was jsut in LA this weekend and I always forget how terrible their traffic is.  I used to want to live in LA, but every time I go and I am stuck in a car I am reminded why I would never live there (amongst many other reasons).
