Only 3% Of People Think They Are Bad Drivers
When we get behind the wheel most of have confidence that we are not bad drivers, it’s everyone else. With more and more people taking to the crowded highways and byways, the chances of getting into an accident or argument are higher than ever.
When an incident or accident happens it has to generally be someone’s fault unless it was a sheer happenstance that it occurred. Most insurance companies want to determine who was at fault so they don’t have to pay for repairs and claims.
It’s not my fault!
It’s probably an exaggeration to say that EVERYONE on the roads is a horrible driver . . . but are there more bad drivers than good ones? Or are the bad apples just spoiling the whole barrel?
In a new poll, people were asked about the average driving ability of people in their state. And believe it or not, 9% of people said that, on average, their state has EXCELLENT drivers.
But 12% say the average driver is POOR, and another 5% rate the average driver as TERRIBLE.
So how did people grade THEMSELVES? Just 3% of people admitted they’re a subpar driver. Specifically, 2% said they’re “poor,” and another 1% said they are “terrible.”
On the flip-side, 47% said they are “excellent” drivers . . . another 26% said they’re “good” . . . and 7% said they’re “fair.”
So, a whopping 90% of people insist they’re NOT a jerk on the roads.
And even though NO ONE EVER boasts about how great the drivers were on their commute . . . 31% of people say the drivers in their state are probably better than those in other states . . . 41% say they’re probably the same . . .
And only 16% think that they’re experiencing WORSE driving than what’s happening in other states.
It’s one thing to be confident that you’re not a bad driver, but you have to back that up with a good driving record, or your insurance company will let you know what they think.
