I've lived in 6 different cities in my lifetime, in every one they claimed they had the worst drivers in the USA.

Edit: well color me an idiot, I just checked and a 2019 usnews report had boston as ranked 3rd on worst drivers, based on whatever set of variable they came up with, so touche.

I found what I think is probably the same report. This one anyway had DC and Baltimore, two cities where I've personally driven a good deal, as the worst, and I would believe that.

One other thing to note is that two of the _other_ top 10 are also in Mass, Worcester and Springfield. That's the only triplet on the list in the same metro area.

Though I guess, for the point I was making, it doesn't matter if Boston driving is the actual worst in the country or not, as long as it's very bad, which I promise you it is.

Insane that Miami wouldn't be on there, makes me question the whole thing.

Imagine Miami only with ice storms, and you've got Boston.

I lived in Boston for 2.5 years and it's not as bad as Miami on it's worst day, driving-wise.

Speaking seriously, I'll take your word for it, I haven't visited Miami since I was a little kid.
