In California everything's great until it rains - then people lose their sh--
californiahummus THEY NEVER USE THEIR BLINKERS THO
californiahummus oh my god i know right it’s like we’re not actually used to rain it’s like wtf is going on
literally when it rains, I get so excited cause it doesnt happen too often
Cali drivers match you and won't you let get over, and will drive obnoxiously slowly for no reason. You can routinely find people in LA going 30mph on the highway. FOR NO REASON
whats rain?
Montana woman didn’t say anything cause they ride horses
It is not uncommon to see us riding cows to school.
I was thinking she was taught if you don't have anything nice to say then say nothing at all.
Lol
or a buffalo on Ted's land
She probably didn’t say anything because Montana is ranked the worst state for drunk drivers lol
Yes the Massachusetts lady totally nailed it. But she should have mentioned the terrible traffic.
Specially in boston
sad that she didn’t point out we’re called “Massholes”...
Jared Kinz she did in a different vid
Only time I ever drove up to MA, I was freakin out because everyone was using the shoulder as a lane on the highway. Made it difficult to take the exits.
Michiganders reaction speed on the road is very high be cause of our deer population
Let’s be honest, we all were waiting for the famous Maryland girl 😂
Yep
lmao exactly
She actually got a little bit better. At this point, I think Illinois representative is worst then her.
tara Well tbh, she actually got it right. I’m surprised. *Claps*
😂😂😂😂
As non American, what I'm basically getting is that, California and East coast have the worst drivers.
I live on the US East Coast and I think what you said is true.
You're important.
I think the worst drivers are going to be concentrated in the largest cities - most of them are near the coasts, but also in inland major cities like Chicago and Houston where there’s a lot of people and a lot of traffic.
Ethan Taylor- Houston is on the coast. There’s even a place within the city limits where you can drive on the beach.
Ari Shagal Chicago is on a coast as well( technically)
NJ has something called the "jersey slide" where you cross all 3 or 4 lanes on the highway to catch your exit, very common, do this all the time on my commute ✨
Emilia I didn’t know we had a name for this 😂
Very very true. Can't have NO fears when you driving in Jersey!
I’ve seen Russian drivers do that too. Looks like NJ is the Russia of the US when it comes to driving
omg i didn't know there was a name but yes sjjdkd
You are 100% right, I've seen others do this and I admit I've done it too lol
As a Floridian, I can confirm that our drivers suck.
*Patricia * especially in south Florida
Y'all don't use turn signals when switching lanes. It is the most aggravating thing when I'm driving in Florida.
naomi jenkins Miami drivers are the worst in Florida
@@Patricia-wq9tt I became SO much better a driver after moving to Miami because I had to learn how to navigate all of the idiots down here. Every day on US-1 is an adventure.
@@amymcintosh9256 we also dont know how to parallel park
The Alabama guy is my favorite representative. He is honest and he shares everything with a smile. I wish we could watch some sec football sometime at Buffalo Wild Wings
Carolina sport 13 for a second I forgot what Buffalo Wild Wings was...everyone call it B-dubs😂😂
Same
Carolina sport 13 Same with the Louisiana guy
WARRRRR EAGLE
He's literally the worst and wrong about everything in our state.
Came here for Massachusetts. She was too nice. They have a reputation for reasons.
Florida rep nailed it. Old people are always causing traffic issues. It's bad.
Tosh T cane hear for mass also
I think she got it right, if you're born and raised in Massachusetts, you're gonna be an aggressive and assertive driver. If you drive anywhere else, you're just gonna be waaaay to aggressive for other people to handle

F A they were just helping, not all of us want to watch other people’s state

Nevada: I dont think we are as bad as California drivers
California: I think we are the best in the country
Tom Gaming every state bordering them said they suck and he was like nah we are great you suck
omg yes they think we suck but really we’re super chill and they’re just jealous 😳✌️
Gabriel Ingelido mannn i went to california and the drivers don’t use turn signals, the drive at like 100 mph and to top that off it’s all in traffic which is just so bad it’s even in the streets 💀💀
Californian drivers SUCK. I’m sorry, stay in California, we don’t want you unless you drive good 😔🤟
californian drivers will let you go in front but then yell about it to themselves after
I live in Rhode Island we literally have the worst roads in the country- and the Rhode Island guy tho
@Spencer Sprows :) Do you live in RI?
Yes the roads suck
Philip Spradlin ayo Connecticut boi!
@@calan1312 :)
The worst roads create some of the worst drivers 🤣
The Illinois girl obviously doesn’t pay attention when she’s in the passenger seat. 🤣🤣🤣
bruh an 8 ahahhaha
right🤣🤣
The closer you get to Chicago the more aggressive the drivers get, I'd say a 5, maybe a 6 or 7 is other parts of the state.
@@ForeverRememberable yeah you're right
She’s the shooter lol
as a native i can confirm new york drivers are "im drivin here!"/10
Once when I was driving through NY, I saw a motorcyclist literally come up alongside a car in that car's lane. 😮
Olivia Touba a lot of motorcyclists do that, especially the ones with the sporty bikes (like Honda)
@@joyholmes254 😮 I'm sure you must be right, but that was the first time I'd seen anyone do that! I'm so glad I wasn't the driver of that car!
One time when my aunt was trying to cross the street in NYC, a taxi ran over her (she survived but was hurt) and the taxi guy claimed that “HE WAS DRIVING!”😑 That was his case
They need to change the person representing NY state. The only thing he knows about is the city. NY city is just a small dot in the corner of the state. He knows absolutely nothing about the whole rest of the state. And it’s nothing like the city! NY state people are some of the best drivers in the country!!
Idaho: ugh Californians
Nevada: we're not as bad as California
California: we're great
California has more things than Idaho. They’re just jealous of us
Nevada is right next to us and we share Lake Tahoe. So they’re like our little sister
@@owenpampo4120 then why are Californians moving here (Idaho)? 😗
@@ashtheintroverted7204 idk,visiting some people they know?
@@owenpampo4120 yet y'all move to Idaho
....is the california guy JOKING
Yes
No
Then what is it :|
I think in comparison. I’ve been to some states/countries where I’m just like NO 😂 Also depends on the area. Most just speed lol
Californians will push their way in between two cars and if you don’t stop for them and let them in they don’t care. They will get over in the lane no matter what
As a Virginian, any Maryland drivers I see are horrible, they love to speed, don’t use signals and don’t let you in their lane. But to be fair Virginia’s are kinda slow and are horrible with red lights/stop signs.
As a Virginian, very accurate
As a native Virginian that lives in Maryland....I agree!
We gotta get rid of our reps lol. Everyone in the area knows that DC and MD (& nova) have notoriously aggressive drivers.
As a Virginian as well, I agree😌👊
Maryland drivers are horrible and DC drivers are better but still bad
Texas = pass somebody at 80 they will speed up and go around you at 100
xD so true 😂😂
Or they’ll speed up, cut in front of you, and then drive as slow as they possibly can. You also can’t forget how we never put our turn signal on!
Kylie E Texans sound like Massachusetts drivers to be honest xD 😅
Facts
You’ll know if people live in Texas they’re going 20 over the speed limit
@@apersononyoutube1465 i set my cruise control at a solid 85 haha
I live in Dallas and everyone loves to speed and change lanes without turning signals
was on the highest speed limit road in Texas (85) and my dad still went over and was going like 95. though we were keeping up with traffic.
Oh yes for sure there a mess
Drew Butler Tell me about it! People go over 100 here in Dallas and then cut in front of you and start going 40.
The North Carolina guy was spot on
Me sitting here waiting for Texas girl to say “everything’s bigger on Texas”
But she should say WE CAN GO 80 MPH on our highways.
Us texans go fast
cool dude I know right😂
Yes
She should have mentioned we don't know how to drive when it rains, ices, or snows.
Fr😂
All you people saying you have it bad try coming to New Jersey/York
Pennsylvania is horrible too
@Nick Z illinois is also bad
@@welpimametalhead6018 Not as bad the further West in Pennsylvania you go
@@ethansimon5629 true but all of pa are horrible drivers. Except the somewhat country side of Pa.
Have you seen houston we get some of the most rain and we still can’t drive in it we drive 20 miles over the speed limit and forget our turn signals are a thing
Nobody:
Not even a soul:
Oklahoma Lady: Oil and Gassss
my state LMAO
I know right. It’s either Oklahomans drive too slow or they drive too fast. It’s that or the other, now I don’t know what she said, because I don’t see big trucks all the time.
NJ looks like had a flashback to seeing at least 15 different crashes on the turnpike
Nebraska, Minnesota, Maine and North Dakota driving on ice... regularly? My Australian brain is amazed!
Also "properly drive on ice" that minnesota accent, heck yes!
Yep, six months out of the year!
south carolina literally couldn’t have said it better ..
Agree
Yeah
I second that.
Here in Miami, I can't even begin to explain how bad traffic is...
Bro you a FSU fan? Traitor lmao
@@pdb2k154 lol...go Seminoles
my guy knows what's up! go noles!
@@Hannah-sv6yr 😁👍
I would much drive in NYC than on I-95 between West Palm & Miami
The NY representative is spitting facts, traffic is horrendous. Upstate is fine but southern NY is horrible when it comes to traffic. Good luck driving on Long Island during rush hour. NJ traffic is also pretty bad based on my time living there. Don't get me started on the Lincoln Tunnel bus traffic
God I have to agree, I live on long island-
It can get pretty terrifying seeing crackhead truckers swerving left to right and if your really unlucky you can find some guy driving 100 mph between the cars. But if you go upstate often you’ll be really good in the snow.
The NY representative is soooo right! NY road rage is absolutely horrific, and we can barely drive. Also, we can drive in all conditions with the exception of sunny, nice, perfect weather. We drive best in snow and rain.
Minnesota drivers are bipolar. We'll yeet through a snowstorm unscathed but drive below the speed limit in the express lane. There's no in between.
California drivers are actually pretty good but get a bad wrap because they drive so aggressively. I definitely prefer that to states where people drive under the speed limit.
I guess it depends what part of california. In LA good luck getting over haha
@@v3ryveryhaha true, but if you give LA drivers they'll go a mile
so then you're not getting a bad rap - you are bad drivers for being so aggressive
First off it’s rep as in reputation, just trying to help clear that. And secondly, I also hate being behind a slow person it’s just as unsafe as speeding. Cause then all the car’s around you have to watch out for their brakes and messes up the whole flow....so I agree
Bad rap is the original phrase meaning "a bad or undeserved reputation." Bad rep, which contains the literal shortening of "reputation," has historically been interpreted as a spelling error, but has seen enough usage to merit entry. Bad wrap is considered wrong and is best saved for referring to wraps and tortillas.
The New Hampshire and Massachusetts girls are pretty spot on, we do have a lot of lousy drivers. I went to college in Springfield and I don't remember too many nights when I didn't hear somebody skidding. On the other hand, when it comes to driving in snow, we're more used to it here than drivers in the Southern states, so we're probably better prepared in that regard.
The New Hampshire girl is accurately portraying our state in every video she's in. Makes me feel proud 😊
The Alabama one killed me because of how accurate it is 😂
The Louisiana guy was spot on people can not drive here
Especially in NOLA!!! I'm a New Orleans native and holy crap, we have the absolute worst drivers in the whole nation here. You go down to Canal St, or really anywhere in the French Quarter, and people suddenly have no clue what to do.
n that is so true
@@cyanideisfun tbh the roads are super messed up I agree tho.
I gotta say, I love this North Carolina rep. About 90% of his answers are accurate, and some of them, including the one for this video, are very SPECIFICALLY accurate. It's crazy how he nails it on the head so often.
When I lived in Portland, OR I heard a couple of times that you could tell a bad driver by their Washington license plate.
3:45
The Wyoming and the South Dakota girls litterally sound the same ^^
You couldn't tell that different people were talking without watching the video
Ok, Texas, let’s try that again: In some places, the speed limit is 80.
And yes, as a New Mexican, we have horribly rude drivers. The worst are, of course, in Albuquerque.
Ever go to Las Cruces? They make Albuquerque look like the courteous driver capitol of the world.
ocularnervosa Yes, I have family there. Would rather drive there than ABQ.
85 mph west of Kerrville on I-10
Also yes, you hit Texas going east on I-40 and with the speed limit change it’s like jumping into hyperspace 😆
And even with the 80/85 mph speed limit, we all go way over in Texas.
There are parts of Texas where the speed limit reaches 80/85. It's the best!
I posted it above.. but it's posted 85 west of Kerrville. We have the highest legal speed limit in the country. Someone must have said bigger and better was needed. :-)
I'm surprised this isnt common in some other places, but in Texas (at least in Houston) most go upwards of 10-20 miles faster than the speed limit on the freeway.
Also, left side is for speeding, right is for slow people
Plus our traffic is, concerning.
"I think Californians are the best drivers in the country."
*WHEEZE*
Not in the following areas:
Los Angeles
San Diego
Orange County
Inland Empire.
Thank goodness I moved to Tennessee. It is so much better.
Minus all the old people driving and tractors behind you.
The Maryland girl is wrong again because I live in Virginia and whenever I see Maryland drivers in Virginia they have no idea what there doing
did illinois girls say that they are good? they go like 80 when its a 60
Meh, we don't really believe in speed limits unless you see a cop😂 (and even then you won't get pulled over unless you're more than 10 over tbh) everyone I know gets pissed if they're stuck behind someone going the speed limit
Drivers in Illinois are great. We’ve been schooled in ALL types of weather....snow, rain, high winds, gunfire, etc. Best defensive drivers ever!
No, they are awful. They are the rudest drivers I have ever encountered.
Sounds slow- New Jersey driver
the only way to drive
Y'ALL REALLY GOT SOMEONE WHO CAN'T DRIVE TO DO THIS VIDEO
The Pennsylvania lady forgot those time you get caught behind an Amish buggy. Hellishly slow.
Emilie Smith AND PENN DOT, POTHOLES AND DEER🦌🦌🦌
i swear in florida almost every day there is at least one crash or stopped car on I-95 🤣🤣
Massachusetts... I mean that's true though 🤣 There's a reason why we are famously called massholes and consistantly use the phrase "USE YOUR BLINKAAA!"
It's not that driver's in Connecticut don't beleive it lanes. We don't seam to beleive in driving laws, period.
Illinois girl- 8
Me- HAVE YOU BEEN IN ILLINOIS 😂😂😂😂😂
Kaylinnoel 06 Came here to say that. Illinois drivers are terrible! Constantly cutting people off, forcing themselves in wherever they want to go, honking for ridiculous reasons, etc.
As someone who lives in Milwaukee and has to deal with Illinois driver all the time, you guys are notorious in Wisconsin
@Kaylinnoel 06 everyone is on there freaking phones when i drive
aesthetic_rxses ikr! My mom will be driving and i would look out the window and every person we pass is on their phone lol
Roonil Wazlib ikr!
Driving in mass has to be one of the scariest things ever
As a person who lives in southern Louisiana I can confirm that we suck at driving
Omg in Pennsylvania you cant go to down the street without getting hit or being yelled at
As a Virginia driver, I’m just here to hear Massachusetts and New Jersey get Roasted for traumatic experiences I’ve have on their over populated roads. Yes, I am bitter.
Not Connecticut? Well NY is definitely over populated though the highways in NYC are brutal
Ur just trash at driving and can’t handle the jersey roads #fuckouttatheway
In Texas, even though the speed limit on typical major highways is 70, people will tailgate if you go the speed limit, especially trucks. The unwritten rule is: the outer lane is 70-75mph, middle lane is 75-80, inner lane is 80-85+ depending on traffic
“Let you drive at the age of 6” same for ms too😂
I expected New York guy to say everyone rides the subway 😂😂
People in Massachusetts are good at driving, they just get angry easily
Arizona holds the spot for the most wrong way drivers. I can also assure you that we do not know how to drive in the rain. My sister actually flooded out her car because she drove into a slightly to deep of a puddle.
it also has lots of car vs perditians crashes
And AGGRESSIVE
and carless and distracted
Arizona also has the stupid motorist law. Because of people like your sister lol jk. But that law actually exist because people drive in floods when it rains and get stranded.
In conclusion stan the midwest for knowing how to drive
California drivers be like: *wtf are blinkers never heard of them*
True, my dad actually does this thing where he will turn on the blinker as he starts merging into the lane....
I asked him why does he turn on the blinkers for? (if he’s not gonna give cars a warning)
He said, “it’s so that the other cars know I’m merging”
-______-
No that’s Florida, Miami especially
Kentucky: tractors go legit 10 miles per hour
I ACTUALLY FELT THAT
As a DFW driver who drove to North Carolina once it killed me how slow everyone was going on the highways
* In Missouri you cannot go on i-70 without seeing a crash
* When you pass in front of somebody that can trigger some people
Truth
you could ask them what their favorite city in their state is or their most popular restaurant and oklahoma will STILL be like “oil and gas!”
*Trust me girl, no Californians are moving to Idaho. that ain't us on your roads..*
It's an insult basically saying we are bad drivers. Not because we are moving to Idaho.
People here in Idaho some of the worst driving I have ever seen. Also our roads suck.
Idiot then why was idaho then 2nd fastest growing state after utah. All the californians going to red states to ruin them
As somone living in virginia, if you wanna know what its like in Hampton roads, just watch a bad driver compilation, and thats basicly your evining commute.
The south Dakota lady could tell me my grandma died and I would apologize to her. She literally could say anything and I'd believe her. 10/10. Passes the vibe check. Wish she was the MD representative bc OOF. Maryland lady, shes gotta be pranking us at this point though.
everything is DC for the Maryland representative smh
Yeah I can’t even debate the MA chick or the RI guy on this one. Pretty spot on this time! 😏🚗
We all know ppl in NJ can’t drive
i want to defend us but nj has a big driving ego bc we're below ny
I grew up in NJ and moved to Indiana and honestly i drive 10x better than my friends. Could just be me though. Growing up driving in NJ definitely makes you more spatially aware.
Nj has the best drivers ppl think we are bad because when they come here they don’t know how we drive
@@jdomsousa5959 Facts
They don't let you merge in lanes
I think this was one of my favorite ones. Almost everyone was brutally honest about their state.....Rhode Island: Rhode Island drivers are a**holes.....Alaska: If we see another car coming, we'll get in our lane.....Arizona: Can't drive in the rain. Plus I can confirm that Kentucky guy is spot on! I've been behind SO many tractors!!
As someone that's lived in Alabama, Tennessee and Texas, all three were surprisingly spot on.
Especially Tennessee. Well done, Tennessee.
I now live in Tennessee and yes she said it perfectly
I live in TN and it’s basically a melting pot for drivers. Some go really fast, some go really slow. Overall, she nailed it!
Born and raised New Yorker who (mostly) learned to drive in Jersey, I can say that both state’s assessments are correct 😂
lmfao alabama’s man is spot on this time! 😂 i remember my dad would let us “drive” the steering wheel while he worked the pedals, good times!!! ❤️
4:05 spot on! Like Georgia can have bed weather where you can't even see the car in front of you. And the city is in the making of falling apart cause of the traffic.
Warm Climate State’s Employers: “It’s raining, stay safe out there!!”
Cold Climate State’s Employers: “See you promptly on time in this below freezing, 7inch+ snow storm! Good luck! I hope you can park in a spot that never has or will be plowed.”
🙄
Relatable af
Michigan: is both of those at once
Uniboy 13 Seriously, as a Michigander too, I totally agree! It is sunny, snowing, raining, hailing, and thunder-storming all in the same day 😳
Mass girl was speaking truth. We are told as kids in NH to be scared of Ma**holes. 😂
I invite anyone taking a drive through New Mexico to give Albuquerque a shot: our people are straight up crazy! I’ve been to plenty of big cities and travelled across the US, but have only had true pearl-clutching moments in Albuquerque, Austin, and Baltimore. Can’t wait to add more cities to this list!!
As someone who lives in Mass and goes to school in Rhody I can strongly agree with both statements we are full of rage and speed
I just wanted to hear California tbh
I've lived 18 years in Wisconsin: THE BEST DRIVERS EVER
I moved to Michigan 8 months ago: TERRIFIED TO DEATH. EVERYONES GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT
I live in Oregon, and when we moved into our current house (built in 1964) we found some old newspapers that they used as insulation, one of the articles was about how Oregonians are bad drivers because of the high levels of education here, so we have better things to think about. My mom thought it was really interesting and kind of funny, so now it's framed in our laundry room wall.
Maryland girl, you never fail to disappoint me. Get out of Fort Washington and come see the drivers in Wheaton. That about sums up Maryland drivers.
me: patiently waits for Maryland girl to mess up
also me: DESTROY D.C.
0:03 I thought he was gonna say big familys
Same haha🤣🤣🤣🤣
omg growing up everytime i went to nj i was scared bc of yall driving
Omg, I think I keep watching these for Alabama guy!! He's awesome!!😂😂
Utah's drivers go WAY too fast in the snow! I always see at least one person skid off the road when it isn't straight, especially through canyons and mountains.
Truth
Arizona dude be like “you can’t drive in rain!” Lol
u not it’s completely true when it rains everyone loses the ability to drive
In South Dakota we get our permits at 14 , learn to drive in blizzards and on icy roads, and have 80mph speed limits on our interstates. Badass is right!!!!
4:09
"HOLY SH*T ITS LIKE GT5 OUT HERE"-My dad in Seattle traffic
Texas desert areas:
GET OUT OF THA ROAD
LEAVE MA *PANZER* SPACE TO MAVOUVER
Michigan: “Michigan drivers are some of the best drivers”
Coryxkenshin who almost died in a car crash: aM i a JoKe tO U
Ay, a fellow fan of Cory
Michigan drivers are NOTORIOUSLY bad here in Ohio
The speed limit is 70 on most interstate highways in Michigan. Being a resident of the state, if there were 100 vehicles on the highways i can guarantee you not a single car will be going 70. Everyone in Michigan drives way too fast.
kbokja99 the potholes don’t help either.
Aye samurai
As an Oklahoman, I can confirm that we do drive large vehicles for the gas and oil.
Also as a trucker the most courteous drivers may be Oregon & Washington
i immediately clicked for the new york guy bc i wanted his input on the awful driving here
I'm going to say this again Washington that is only true for the Westside!!!! Eastern Washington CAN NOT drive when the roads are wet (for the most part). It's a dessert over here!!
The New Jersey guy understated it, most of NJ drivers seem not to know what they're doing, especially on highways
As and Illinoisan - I traveled to Hawaii- nicest drivers ever!! They don’t speed, they let you in...
