Is it just your imagination, or do many of your fellow motorists lack even a rudimentary grasp of traffic laws?

One in six drivers would fail driving test if they had to take it today, a GMAC test suggests.

Well, if a test administered by GMAC Insurance is any indication, one in six people cruising our highways and byways -- roughly 36 million licensed drivers -- would flunk their driver's test if they had to take it today. Not only that, but based on the 2007 GMAC Insurance National Drivers Test data the state with the most road-going dummies is New York, while the most knowledgeable ones are out West to Idaho.

Looking down the left-lane of the freeways in this state, it doesn't surprise me.

It's WEIRD a bit - I almost wrote "In OUR" state, before I remembered you're a "New Yorker" now. :(

No, I am merely residing in New York. Big difference.
