I'm curious on the methodology of the study (not that I dispute it).

For instance, is this drivers domiciled in the city, or in the metropolitan area?

Are these accidents that occured in the city or in the metropolitan area?

Are these accidents where the driver was involved or at fault? (For example, do deer hits count?)

How did they control for drivers operating vehicles they didn't own? (For example, what about police wrecking police cars or truck drivers in accidents in company trucks.)

Did they control for drivers in accidents where another vehicle wasn't involved (ie, hit a street sign).

We needed a report from an insurance company to tell us this? Just drive up and down 95 during rush hour, or through the death trap that is the Harbor Tunnel...

No surprise there, but at least we beat out DC! Which reminds me of a line that Bill Richardson used to say when he was governor of New Mexico, which was "Thank God for Mississippi" referring to the fact that they could usually count on Mississippi to rank lower then New Mexico on most of these types reports...

This is no lie. I moved from Colorado to Baltimore-People here are so involved with what they're doing that they don't care for anyone's safety. People are in so much of a hurry--they speed to red lights. I hate driving in Baltimore!

And in other breaking news, water is wet, and the sun is expected to come up tomorrow.

HAHA - seriously, thanks for posting this. It helps me believe I'm not being too critical when I see some of this mayhem around me.

Now we are really in trouble. We don't know how to walk either. Did you ever see what goes on in the middle of the street when the traffic light is green downtown? It's like "Hey the the light is green, let's party in the middle of the street"
Total anarchy driving downtown.

I always thought Boston drivers were the worst. But maybe this is correct. Drove alongside a guy on the s/b JFX Wednesday morning who was furiously texting (or so it appeared) on a mobile device in his lap.

Yes Baltimore, DC area has the worst careless drives I've ever seen, I moved here from upstate NY and noticed the difference right away people are so in a rush to get to where they are going that they are willing to take themselves or other people out in the process. Its absolutely stupid how careless drivers are here...slow down your job will replace you anyway when your dead!

Not to pick nits here, but 192 out of 193 isn't the "worst."

Washington is the "worst."

Boston isnt included. the originial allstate release shows some areas are not included in the report.

No surprise...it's incredibly obvious if you've ever lived anywhere else. I am amazed every day by the endless number of idiotic, completely self absorbed drivers on the roads. If you replaced most of them with steroidal, hyper-agressive spider monkeys it would improve things. I recently drove in Los Angeles, and was amused with how much easier it was than driving here. The term "Baltimorons" is well deserved.

I have been saying this for years--Maryland has the worst drivers in the USA. Too many of these people do not use turn signals. Too many (mostly impatient men) will pull out right in front of you as you approach an intersection. And too many (mostly women) drive too slow and in the left (passing only) lane of the freeways

S0 do we all just except the fact that we are bad drivers in Charm City? I don't think so. Truth is that lots of us are good drivers who get into accidents that are not our fault. I would like to know what the Transportation folks are doing about this. In the congested area of town where I had my last accident, a 92 year old man heading toward me turned left right in front of me. I hit my breaks, but skidded right into him totalling my car. grrr..How I wish there was no left turning allowed on Reisterstown Rd. in Pikesville. It's just crazy!
