Our roadways are filled with crappy drivers. It's an unfortunate fact that we take our lives into our hands every time we strap on a seatbelt and head out on the open road. But at least we all have passed the most basic test of driving skill, right?<br />
<br />
Sadly, according to a recent test carried out by <a href="http://autoblog.search.aol.com/search?q=gmac+insurance&s _it=header_form">GMAC Insurance</a>, a driver's license may not mean what we think it means. Apparently, one-in-five drivers would fail their driver's test if they had to retake it today. Such simple rules about what to do when approaching a yellow light and how much distance to leave in between the car ahead were answered incorrectly by a shocking three out of four drivers.<br />
<br />
After <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/28/obvious-survey-says-nearly-one-in-five-motorists-unfit-to-dri/">three consecutive years</a> at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/05/survey-does-your-state-have-the-smartest-drivers-or-the-dumb/">bottom of the list</a>, New York drivers managed to move up to 45th, leaving the District of Columbia to earn their spot as the worst drivers in America. Kansas drivers scored the highest. In other us-versus-them news, men managed to score a significant six-percent better than women, and drivers between the ages of 60 and 65 scored the highest.<br />
