The study is badly flawed. On the first page alone, it calls Washington D.C. a state. If it can't even get that right I'm not wasting my time with the rest. I think I'll grab my phone and a six pack and go for a drive..........

As it relates to DC---I agree. To compare almost exclusively inner city driving to the mix of driving in States is ludicrous. To not see NJ in the top echelon also casts doubt on the entire list.
As an aside, once while in Dalton GA---the home range of MTG---and pre GPS, I asked a gas attendant how far it was to my destination---after a bit of thought he said----"it's about a six pack"

We used to measure distance in beer here, too back before they made it illegal to drink one while driving. Ahhh, the good old days!

When I first saw this I thought who even cares. But just for kicks and giggles a quick Google search yielded the following article which proves to me that if you're looking to find something bad it's really easy.

Clearly you didn't read the article you linked to. The headline shows how, with only a few words in bold print, the editor managed to send a coded message to the "skimmers".

I get it. The methods to determine "The Worst" can be illusive and erroneous.

I knew exactly what your point was---I simply pointed out that it was a failed attempt.
