Insure.com commissioned a survey of 2,000 licensed drivers in July 2014 to discover which state had the rudest drivers, those who would weave in and out of traffic, sound the horn most often and be the most aggressive.

The respondents were situated around the country and the analysis was carried out using a ratio of the number of drivers in the state divided by the number of respondents.

The state which came out top of the poll was Idaho, with Nevada coming in at ninth place. Nevada drivers were seen as worse than inconsiderate, they were thought to be dangerous.  One respondent said that it was not a question of if you would be in an accident; it was a question of when. Another said that whenever there was a stop light, or a left turn signal, at least two or three cars would go through the red light. In addition on the freeway, there were always drivers darting in and out of the traffic, just to get one more space ahead.
