I am not surpised considering the extreme indifference Baltimore drivers exhibit toward the use of turn signals, the practice of spontaneous double parking and their prediliction for 'taking their half out of the middle of the road'.

I am very surprised. I find it highly unlikely that there could be another city with drivers worse than those in Baltimore.

A fundamental problem must be the complete lack of regard for stop lights. I've never seen a city where so many blatantly run red lights. I'm hoping that the city starts installing red-light cameras almost everywhere; good for the city budget and good for the safety of her citizens.

not suprised either. can't tell you how many times a day I witness people running red lights , and not just one driver ,but 3-5 of them all in a line going through an intersection when I have the green light.

I think tickets should be given to those who are too lazy to park in an open space (intentional) and sit in the travel lane just to talk to people they see on the street. Anyone agree?

I drive the 95's every day in Baltimore. It's like playing Russian roulette. Amazed that we're not #1

I am not surprised. I have seen motorists make illegal turns, run stop signs and red signals, and speeding. However, I've seen it done all in the presence of a police car.

It is outright dangerous to drive in Baltimore City. Unfortunately, I have to anticipate the lawless and erratic driving of others such as red light running.

It's the overall lack of enforcement that creates these numbers. People will do anything if they know they can get away with it.
I've noticed the latest trend in arrogance is the yield, people don't yield, or they think the drivers on the thru road should yield to them, but they just come on out. Look out for me!

The Allstate study is JUNK! If you read their "little" press release, all the way down in the fine print, you'll see the disclaimer that says: "The Allstate data excludes cities in the state of Massachusetts". There were also some backwater areas that Allstate excluded from their data pool.

I might point out that, consequently, data on Bostonian drivers are excluded. And everyone knows that Boston drivers are the absolute worst in the nation, so that put Baltimore easily as only the **3rd** worst.

Also interesting to note that the data seem to be limited to city limits rather than Metropolitan Statistical Areas. We know this because Washington DC is rated the city with the worst drivers, while Alexandria VA - what 5 miles away? - is the boasts the most improved drivers. So if you live in Arbutus or Pikesville, take heart, Allstate isn't calling you out. But keep that in mind when they try to raise your rates anyway simply as a result of their findings.

I believe Boston is excluded because Massachusetts drivers are so pathetic that Allstate does not insure anyone residing in the state, therefore no information is available.

As a bicyclist I find this truly terrifying
