To be fair most of them are in California and Californians are the worst drivers in the country.

Florida drivers are the worst.

You think they’re bad, wait until you experience {myCity} drivers!

Only if you're a bad driver yourself.

To be fair, California is not even close to having the worst drivers.

Different definitions of worse. Texas is basically one giant DUI, so... Yeah, worse. But also when sober they'll drive circles around the average California driver.

Sure, when looking at statistics behind fatal crashes, but when looking at other metrics such as 'deciding to park in a lane next to a concrete support under an overpass in order to look for damage after a fender bender in rush hour traffic' California is probably right up there. Oddly specific because I've only ever seen California drivers do that (multiple even)

They are also terrible at parking, and many will go further than the "California stop" (a provincial term describing "we built way too many stop signs and would get 8 mpg if we actually stopped at them") and just blatantly ignore stop signs entirely regardless of traffic. And that's the relatively stable car drivers... Motor- and human-powered cyclists are seemingly suicidal.
