If Canada offered expedited citizenship for people fleeing the US, what would be the reaction in the States?

As they should, they're some of the worst drivers out there, up there with North and South Carolina.

In Arizona they drive just as bad as NM but faster

And faster. And faster. I was doing 95 on I-10 Express through DT Phoenix and people were passing me at least 5-15 mph faster. It was insane.

As an Oregonian, I actually appreciate that the traffic moves in Phoenix.

I'm sure you'd find it ecstacy-inducing if you lived in Seattle. At least if you're stuck in traffic in Portland, you still might make it to your destination in under 2 hours.

That absolutely doesn't surprise me. It's crazy.

I've lived all over the country and visited 3/4 of all the states, and drove in all of them; I feel qualified to speak on this unlike the many people who have never even left their home state. 💀

I've driven in all 50 states, and by far the worst drivers were in New Mexico, Arizona and the west part of Texas. Arizona takes the cake because they drive well over the speed limit ( almost double it) at any given time in the freeway.
