It’s probably an exaggeration to say that EVERYONE on the roads is a horrible driver . . . but are there more bad drivers than good ones?  Or are the bad apples just spoiling the whole barrel?

In a new poll, people were asked about the average driving ability of people in their state.  And believe it or not, 9% of people said that, on average, their state has EXCELLENT drivers.

But 12% say the average driver is POOR, and another 5% rate the average driver as TERRIBLE.

So how did people grade THEMSELVES?  Just 3% of people admitted they’re a subpar driver.  Specifically, 2% said they’re “poor,” and another 1% said they are “terrible.”

On the flip-side, 47% said they are “excellent” drivers . . . another 26% said they’re “good” . . . and 7% said they’re “fair.”

So, a whopping 90% of people insist they’re NOT a jerk on the roads.

And even though NO ONE EVER boasts about how great the drivers were on their commute . . . 31% of people say the drivers in their state are probably better than those in other states . . . 41% say they’re probably the same . . .

And only 16% think that they’re experiencing WORSE driving than what’s happening
