It is nice to see that other people agree with me about the drivers in Minnesota. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone blow through a Yield sign into traffic. And the people who turn right on red while other drivers are trying to make a left with their green arrow. Craziness.

I've been here about 7 months coming from out of state and I can tell the driving is somewhat bad (definitely manageable though), but it doesn't come close to Utah driving. The level of impatience and stupidity that exists in that state when driving (and a lot of the times not) is crazy. I definitely noticed a huge improvement in driving coming from there and now don't get stared down every time someone cuts me off, and I also don't have to fear getting in an accident every time I leave the house. I also drove in California for 5 years where people are a lot more aggressive drivers, so I'll take Minnesota driving any day over those two. Otherwise, and not to get off topic, but I love it here and see my wife and I starting a family here and staying forever.

I agree with this statement. the worst drivers are New mexico/Colorado/Utah.

Minnesota, as bad as they are, mop these states up.

In Colorado we had a 10 mile back up on I-25 because 16 yr old girls were texting on their car on a frontage road.

Even better, We flip cars on the highway in 80 degree weather and sunny with the sun at our back. WTH.

I definitely also remember the few Colorado vehicles driving in the state as well.
