SURVEY: Does your state have the smartest drivers... or the dumbest?

Now, lower your hands if you don't happen to live in either New York or New Jersey. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that the average driver in your particular state is all that great, regardless of what city you choose to call home. According to this year's GMAC Insurance National Drivers Test, an alarming 20.1% of licensed Americans would not pass a written drivers test exam if taken today.<br /><br /> For what it's worth, those people who couldn't manage to pass the basic driving test amount to roughly 41 million drivers that are currently piloting two-ton weapons of mass destruction on American roads. Before you get all up in arms over this news, consider <a href="http://www.gmacinsurance.com/SafeDriving/">taking the test yourself</a>. Even if you pass, you might pick up on a few valuable reminders that may have slipped your mind at some point since you last took the test, probably at just 16 years of age or so.<br /><br />Oh, the states that have the smartest drivers? That would be Idaho and Wisconsin, which tied for first place with an average test score of 80.6 percent.<br /><br />[Source: GMAC Insurance | Photo: <a rel="dc:creator cc:attributionURL" title="Link to fireflythegreat's photostream" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fireflythegreat/">fireflythegreat</a> - cc 2.0]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/05/survey-does-your-state-have-the-smartest-drivers-or-the-dumb/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>SURVEY: Does your state have the smartest drivers... or the dumbest?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/05/survey-does-your-state-have-the-smartest-drivers-or-the-dumb/">SURVEY: Does your state have the smartest drivers... or the dumbest?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 05 Jun 2009 16:57:00 EST.
