Bad Driving the Illinois Way
Not only are local gas prices awful (averaging $4.19 per gallon), but apparently so are our drivers.
In a recent national survey by GMAC insurance, Illinois ranked 32 of the 50 states, which is up 13 spots from last year.
The survey tested drivers' knowledge of what to do when approaching a yellow light, how to drive in inclement weather, and proper following distance. GMAC estimates that if given a written driving test today, 33 million licensed American drivers would fail.
Think you're smarter than the average Illinois bear? Take the test and let us know how you did.
