South Dakota Drivers Rated 10th Least Likely to Get Our Panties in a Bunch
In a recent survey, South Dakota ranks the 10th friendliest state when it comes to our diving. That's cool because I was a little concerned for that fist-shaking hothead who insists on trying to turn left out of the Empire Mall on Saturday afternoon.
According to a survey of 2,000 drivers nationwide by Insure.com, North Dakota was ranked the friendliest, or the least rude, for drivers. Idaho ranked the rudest. Just settle down before you have "Idaho - Home of the Pissed-Off Potato Pilots" on your license plates.
Interestingly, the results also reveal which states hate drivers the most. As it turns out, Texas hates the way South Dakotans drive the most. Why? I'm not sure. Maybe it's because we don't think the Cowboys are "America's Team."
However, South Dakota is not even listed in the haters category. That's funny. I regularly hear about Iowa drivers even though you can spot a Minnesotan going 40 mph on I-229 nearly everyday.
Here's the rest of the results from Insure.com:
