The Rudest Drivers

I love funky polls. Here's one that attempts to list the rudest drivers by state. Because the web page is a bit flaky, I've recreated the table below. Idaho of all places is considered the rudest and is most hated by people from Arizona. The fact the two states don't border baffles the hell out of me, but let's move on.

Georgia (where I live) ranks 25th in rudeness, and Florida folks find Georgians the most rude. Not coincidentally, Florida ranks 23rd in rudeness and Georgians find Floridians the most rude. The two states also disagree on important matters like football and water, so driving is no surprise.

Finally -- Hawaii drivers are hated most by people in Kansas? WTF?
