QuoteOther top-five safest cities include (in order): Boise, ID; Fort Collins, CO; Madison, WI and Lincoln, NE.

Among larger metro areas, the safest cities include: Tuscon, AZ (13); Milwaukee, WI (15) and Kansas City, MO (16)

On a side note, those Two letter abbreviation/postcode things you americanians have for states or counties or whatever the fuck they are for, do you learn those fucking things at school or some shit?

Like in teh UK we say where we're from, eg. Glasgow or Drumchapel or fucking Birmingham but, any time I ever heard a yank say where they're from, all you get is two fucking letters. WTF??

Fort Collins was ranked in the top 5 best. That's because of the super wide streets, consistent grid system, and the fact that most motorists that run over bicyclists don't end up filing a claim.

I smell a fix.  It's common knowledge here than when you see a Mass plate you want to give them a wide berth cause you never know what the fuck they're gonna do.

Postal abbreviations. You pick them up easily. Usually it's just the first two letters of the name of the state unless there's competition for that. Then you end up with a few that really don't make any damned sense like Missouri being MO. Speaking of...you can pretty much tell the quality of a state by how regularly you hear a state motto that touts their postal code. "Oklahoma is OK". Is it really? Missouri calls itself "Big MO" even though it's smaller than Montana which is "MT".

The fine print says they're only going by claims filed.  This obviously precludes any instance when Tucson stirs, and sends the sausage creature out to do It's bidding.

Big MO? Isn't that the guy in prison who buttrapes the new guys?

We NEED those postal codes, though. Do you really expect americans to know how to spell the names of FIFTY WHOLE STATES?

Ah.

We don't have many fender benders. Mostly just awful wrecks.

I've got the spelling of CT down, but I'll fuck up MA 99 times out of 100.

The states the Spanish named are fine, but the french and indian named states just make no damned sense. Illinois? Arkansas??? Since when does an S make a _ sound? SPEAK ENGLISH OR GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROMME!

Both Bridgeport and New Haven are on the list. I swear they should be higher, but they're flanking New York City.

Rhode Islanders just like to sue people, and when they aren't talking about suing anyone, they talk about their mental illness diagnoses.

No WE drive fine. It's when THOSE people from other states what can't drive come onto our roads and screw everything up  :argh!:

Everyone drives like an asshole, but for the most part (there certainly are some special drivers around here) they cut you off, you exhibit the appropriate amount of road rage, then cut someone else (or the first person) off cuz that'll show 'em, and this is all done without causing an accident.

Then, we go to Florida and EVERYONE even (ESPECIALLY) people with trailers or other large loads just drift aimlessly from lane to lane without a signal or care in the world. Is there a whole lane of cars right next to me? Ehhhh probably not, I'll just slide over. Cut off a tractor trailer then slam on my breaks? Sure, why not?

Oh, we're taught to drive like that in Florida around the presence out of out-of-state plates in hopes that you guys never come back. If you're ever on I-4, and you're cut off by a blue Honda Civic with a tiny girl behind the wheel that will roll down her window just to call her a cocksucker or a Masshole, that's my sister.

...She learned how to drive in Rhode Island. :)

It's a Houston tradition to slow down while getting on the freeway.

I think it's bad everywhere, just different kinds of bad.

East Coast drivers are aggressive as fuck, but there's some shit they just don't DO.

Florida and Arizona have a lot of elderly people, don't they? 104 year old teabaggers are hazardous.
