"Hawaii drivers are among the least knowledgeable about the rules of the road," according to a study by GMAC Insurance. According to the results of the GMAC Insurance National Drivers Test, Hawaii ranked 50th in the nation with an average score of 73 percent correct.
While I can present plenty of empirical and anecdotal evidence to support the study's conclusions, I will just sit here quietly. Perhaps this will make me feel better every time I see some crazy Hawaiian driver not paying attention to where he or she is going or randomly stopping in the middle of the road when there is no traffic light or stop sign (yes, I have seen these things happen multiple times). I now know I'm not crazy. For the longest time I felt like no one else noticed it and I that I was taking crazy pills (video). Instead, Hawaiian drivers are just stupid. Phew. I feel better.
oh my god thank you. I am from Detroit, known for a slightly more aggressive driving style (some lady recently got arrested for shooting at another car that cut her off) and I too thought that these drivers are just plain mentally deficient!!
