Why are Chicagoland citizens so stupid at driving?

Question:


Answers:

How do you best follow directions? (a survey)?

I live in the South, but I had occasion to travel to Chicago and surrounding areas some time back, and I noticed a fundamental difference between Chicago drivers and drivers in, say, Atlanta or Birmingham. When the light changes in Chicago, the green side goes immediately, stepping on the gas without a thought. If you're caught out in the intersection in Chicago, you WILL get hit. In the larger southern cities I've driven in, this does not generally happen. People are slower to start (and also slower to stop, often going through the yellow to red at high rates of speed). In Tennessee, they have something I like to call the "Tennessee stop," which is a technique whereby a driver pretends he is not going to stop for a red light, and the car slowly comes to a stop about 1/4 of the way into the intersection. It makes one wary if one is going the opposite way, even on a full green.

What is the traffic condition like?

I'd say overall that drivers are stupid everywhere; they're just stupid in different ways.
