I'm sure you've noticed the old guy's revenge of leaving 15 car links ahead of them during rush hour. It seems like a new fad. They did it in Seattle too. Do they have angry old bastard discussion forums where they laugh about it?

Yeah like the drivers so terrified of stop sign runners that they stop at every single block, stop sign or no. I'm ready to go postal following one of those up Monmouth. I don't want to speed, but I want to at least keep moving!

You know, I was thinking about it this week and I think you unwittingly came up with the answer. People are so aware that some maniac may plow into them at any time that they are paying attention all the time. I guessed that there were probably less fatal accidents here for that very reason. Lots of fender benders, but not as many t-bones and roll-overs. You can't help but think a few moves ahead when you drive here. I love it. It's like a video game. It makes for an entertaining commute. "Oh, f*ck me? No, f*ck you!"

Maybe here people hurt you (after a rolling stop, say) but don't actually kill you, so the city scored high on safety. I grew up in a very big city in a developing country, and I swear I never felt as scared of being a pedestrian there as I am here...

great so
traffic + potholes + stop light = less deaths less deaths = greater traffic + greater potholes assumming stop lights are a constant. this means i'll be able to live till i'm 190 years old fantastic!

I doesn't take a genius to figure out that there's less likely to be a fatal crash per mile driven in a dense large city with lots of traffic and lights. I'm sure if they used total accidents, JC would have scored quite differently.

So does this mean my insurance rates will finally go down?

So think about it, how much actual speeding can we do with the potholes?

OK -- I have a hard time with this one!
Of course it's Mens Magazine again... ----------------------------------------- 1010 Wins ---------------------------------------- Mens Magazine: Safest Drivers from Des Moines, Jersey City & NYC Quick. Where are the safest drivers in the country? A new magazine ranking says Des Moines, Iowa. But the cities that follow on the list from Men's Health Magazine may be somewhat puzzling. After Des Moines are Jersey City, New Jersey; New York City; Yonkers, New York, and San Francisco. And where are the worst drivers? Columbia, South Carolina ,leads the list, followed by St. Louis; Greensboro, North Carolina; Jackson, Mississippi, and Cheyenne, Wyoming. The survey used data from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Allstate Insurance and the Governors Highway Safety Association to rank 100 cities. The key factors in deciding the rankings include the total number of fatal accidents and fatal crashes caused by speeding. On the Web: www.menshealth.com
