You had to know this was going to happen. Two years ago, in a fit of irrational exuberance, GMAC Insurance proclaimed that Idaho drivers were the safest in America. It did so after asking drivers in all 50 states questions taken from actual state Division of Motor Vehicle tests, covering both traffic and safe-driving habits. Idahoans had the highest average test score in the country, answering 87.1 percent of the questions correctly (the average score nationally was 77.1). Last year, we slipped to eighth, and the insurance company this week announced the results for 2011. Let’s just say that if this trend continues, it won’t be long before Idaho’s drivers will be worse than Wyoming’s. Wait a minute: They’re already worse than Wyoming’s/Steve Crump, Twin Falls Times-News. More here.

Question: Do you consider yourself to be a careful driver?
