CAN WE PLEASE ALL JUST GET ALONG?... ON THE ROADS I MEAN

If you've ever tried to merge on one of those damn clover-leaf loops of death connecting the I-394 to I-494, you won't be surprised to learn that Twin Cities drivers officially, well, kind of suck.
The Allstate Insurance Company released it's sixth annual list of the nation's best drivers, and Minneapolis ranks 56th out of the nation's 200 largest cities. St. Paul did a little better, at number 52. Allstate says this makes us safe driving cities, comparatively.
I guess we can see their point. But this also seems a good time to point out the dubiousness of this so-called honor. If you've ever tried to change lanes and failed because some passive-aggressive Minnesota Nice driver was expressing himself by totally ignoring your blinker and wildly desperate hand gestures--or even watched him speed UP and cackle with glee at foiling your plan--then you know what we're talking about.
