Lmao! See? I told you. They were listed though Lol!

I ran that search. Number two on the list? Louisiana. I moved here from Connecticut, and I am paying more in car insurance for one car in New Orleans than I was paying for three cars in CT.

Oh, and I have to add something to my list that just happened to me today - people who don't check their blind spots! I nearly got into an accident today because some ******* couldn't be bothered to check their mirrors or look over their shoulder! (My car has blind-spot sensors, but I still look over my shoulder when changing lanes. Buncha savages in this town.)

Michigan's insurance is high because of the "unlimited medical coverage for the rest of your life if you survive a catastrophic accident" coverage, which was mandatory for everyone until last year. Now you can opt for lesser coverage, but there was a loooooooong battle before that legislation passed.

But, yeah, we have some crappy drivers. Impatient, bat out of hell drivers are the worst.

Here's another thing that road rages everyone in my neighborhood. The other side of my neighborhood mostly has very old people. Yes, I know that I'm old but there are still drivers over there who could be my parents.

Anyway, they look you straight in the eye and pull out in front of you. Sometimes they then ride down the center line (only 2 lanes here) and you can't pass them. Sometimes they go 20 in their lane where the stripe is double and you can't pass them. Other times they get really gracious and let about 3 school buses pull out in front of them by the school and then the school buses stop every couple of houses. The line behind the buses and geezer is then about 20 cars long all the way out of the neighborhood.

The only way to avoid this older section is to go the back way, which is longer and has numerous deer springing out into the road. My husband hit one last winter trying to avoid this; they're really bad around here.

Wow! There are states that are more expensive than NJ? Crazy!!!

I’m so spoiled now from living in a rural area and dealing with almost zero traffic…unless I go visit my mom in the city. And then I just go out of my way to use highways to the maximum extent possible (at non peak times).

Which brings about a different type of rage: Toll By Plate Billing Rage.

Out here, some insurance companies base their rates on the driving record and credit score.

lol
I knew that Dee or Sciencewoman would respond to Phrozen in defense of Michigan. Hilarious! :p

I think that might be everywhere.

I'm not bothering. He names the three worst cities (and downtown Detroit is incredible these days- although there are areas that are pretty awful) and bases his opinion of an entire state on those three awful cities. You can't argue with that- he's not going to change his mind anyway. I can find 3 crappy cities in every state.

Lmao! CG is instigating, trying to get something started. Let’s do this. Let’s take the cities out of it and look up the states themselves. I’m going to do it just like I did the last time without looking anything up. For real. I’ll bet if y’all look up most dangerous states, Michigan will be listed — probably number one.

CG, you’re a trip Lol

Hilarious!
 

lol
Hilarious! No, I am SO not instigating! I just knew one of them would show up lol.

Didn’t you say something about living in Nashville? I think you posted that you live in Nashville on a lawn and garden thread or something like that. So, I looked it up. Actually, you’re right, Michigan is listed. But Tennessee is also listed and it’s ranked # 3 for most dangerous states. Michigan was ranked # 10. So, I guess you really didn’t look before you posted. Now that I’ve quoted you, you can’t delete or change it lol. What do you have to say about that? :)

It’s based on both here.
