Bree: Idaho Drivers 4th Best In US? C’mon

Bree: Uh ... in regards to #5, Idaho drivers being #4 in the nation, did they just take accident stastics or did they actually drive the Idaho streets? Just driving to go get lunch today I had 3 stupid driver run-ins. Come on people it's not that hard to use a 4 way stop!

DFO: Bree's referring to a story by Jennifer Gelband/New West that had a link in Monday's Best of the INorthwest. The crazy thing? The entire Northwest did well in the GMAC survey. Oregon drivers are the best in the country, followed by Washington drivers. South Dakota tied with Idaho for fourth, Montana came in sixth, Wyoming tenth, North Dakota eighteenth, and Utah placed twentieth. All of which causes me to endorse Jennifer's opinion: "If we’re bad, and the rest of the country is worse – whoa, that ain’t good."
