Cute, but useless. For example, how TIGHT is the grading? If from top to bottom the "score" is from, say, 99.2 to 95.4 that is a WHOLE lot different if it is from a top of 99.2 and a bottom of, say 40%.

So, without DATA - meaningless.

[John Hussey]

Seeing that Florida is near the bottom of the pile does not surprise me much. Driving slow and blocking the fast lane seems to be considered an entitlement in this State for many. I have watched in amazement as some drivers hang out for mile after mile after mile, blocking fast lane of our four and six lane highways, driving below the posted speed limit, often way below it, completely impervious to the line of cars backing up behind them and the recklessness with which those anxious to pass zip on by them. I try not to do that. Pulling the Casita, though, I am almost always in the outermost and slower lane.

I saw the article a few days ago and tracked down GMAC's driving test here. After taking the test, I was deeply disturbed by GMAC's estimate that about 40 million drivers could not pass a written driving test today. Take the test and see how you stack up to the national stats.
