Bad drivers in Atlanta long predate Tesla’s existence
I am pretty sure that a lot of Tesla drivers just traded in their BMW.
“Of the states where Ram dominated, drivers were worst in Massachusetts at 64.44 incidents per 1,000 drivers. Tesla (31.13) and Subaru (30.09) were the only other brands whose drivers had incident rates above 30.00.”
Damn, Ram drivers are more than twice as worse as the second worst drivers. WTH?
I like confirmation.
This is remarkable! BMW drivers are definitely the sponsors od this article.
I like you. You knew Bill Nye from way back.
Yep. There’s a maneuver I call “the Atlanta special” which is where you signal in one direction, and slow down a little, and then you floor the accelerator and speed off in the opposite direction to the one you’re indicating.
Bonus points if it’s to get a single car length ahead in slow traffic approaching an already red light.
I see it at least once a week.
Couple of weeks ago I saw it three different times in a single rush hour commute.

They sure mostly looked like they were post-“everyone gets that Elon is a crazy motherfucker” era Teslas.
Eh, major metro areas are always terrible.
Partly because they grew too quick and infrastructure/logistics have a hard time being as dynamic as the populations they serve, and partly because they have diverse driving cultures.
Everywhere has slightly different interpretations of “good driving” and that’s all well and good until they all meet in Atlanta and have to contend with all the other interpretations.
That said, I am a bad driver anywhere I go.
Probably also a lot of sleeping drivers
Can’t be worse than DC.
I work at an airport at a job that as you’re exiting the plane, I’M the first person you see as you’re exiting the plane.
I’ve often made jokes, with no context given, that everyone would be better off if Atlanta were just put on a no-fly list. Even without context given I get upvotes for saying that.
Kinda like when I call George Clooney a smug bastard. People don’t question it. They just know it’s true and upvote without backstory needed.
Basically nothing
