I’m not going to sit here and tell you I’m a perfect driver. I’ve done my share of silly things on the road in the last 12 years ,but my license is still clean…knock on wood. AOLs news has New York state as home to the worst drivers in the US. I checked out some other studies and sure enough we’re pretty close to the bottom of the charts on quite a few lists. Below are a few types of drivers who probably helped get us there.

• The Weaver-You drive as fast as you can while weaving your POS through traffic as though you actually have somewhere to be, with no regard for anyone elses safety.
• The Coupon Clipper- Old enough to owe Jesus a nickel, drives no less than 10 MPH under the speed limit coasting from side to side then comes to a complete stop without signaling and eases into their driveway while I’m still screeching to a halt praying I don’t rear-end them. You know who you are.
• The Cell Phone Drone- You don’t even know where you are do you? Thank goodness you have auto pilot right? Well wake up ball skin, your lane is ending. You would probably crawl from the wreckage and say “What the hell happened, I was on the phone.”
• The Reaper-The guy in the far left lane who has just reached warp speed and needs to get in the exit lane, just 3 lanes to the right. He will kill you if he must as he darts across those lanes. Type II Weaver.
• The Highlander-Drives slightly below the speed limit until you try to pass him. Once he notices you trying to pass he will hit the gas, gain a 5 car lead then slow down until you try to pass him again. Then he hits the gas again as if to say “There can be only one!” and repeats the cycle.
