How Rude! Southern Indiana City Has the Rudest Drivers in the State

One southern Indiana city was recently named the rudest city in the state based on its drivers. Do you think you know which one it is?

Rude people are everywhere, let's be honest. You tend to find more of them in bigger cities because everything is more fast-paced, people are in a hurry and tend to only look out for themselves. However, even in smaller towns, you will still run into a few rude people. There's really no escaping them. When you think of Indiana, you typically don't associate the state with rudeness. Southern hospitality is an honored tradition amongst most of the state's residents. That being said, you're going to have jerks everywhere you go. Your chances of running into those people vary from city to city. Especially while driving.

The website, Insurify recently found the rudest cities in each state based on its drivers. Honestly, that's a great way to determine rude cities because you see more rude drivers on a daily basis than anything. So, how do you define a "rude driver"? According to Insurify:

Insurify’s analysis of driver behavior defines rude drivers as those who have one or more of the following traffic infractions on record:

• Failure-to-yield violations
• Failure-to-stop violations
• Improper backing
• Passing where prohibited
• Tailgating
• Street racing
• Hit-and-run

Living in an area where many drivers engage in rude behavior behind the wheel isn’t only dangerous to the polite drivers who must remain vigilant. It can also encourage more drivers to break the rules.

So, which Indiana city has the rudest drivers? Let's take a look and find out.

Southern Indiana City Has the Rudest Drivers in the State

According to Insurify, the city in Indiana that has the highest share of rude drivers relative to the state average is none other than Evansville.

Look, if you have ever driven through Evansville, especially along the Lloyd Expressway, the abundance of rude drivers is astonishing. That stretch of road alone doesn't surprise me at all that Evansville has the rudest drivers in the state. Throw in all of the constant road construction on top of it, and the drivers are even ruder. Here's what Insurify said about Evansville:

Percentage of drivers with a violation on record: 1.44%, 44% higher than the state average

Evansville has a strong sports culture and a passion for basketball. A little bit of that passionate spirit might be coming out on the road. If you’re willing to navigate through a few of Evansville’s ill-mannered drivers, you’ll find numerous museums, a vibrant art scene, and welcoming residents who are far from rude.

Let's try to ease up on the rude driving, Evansville. Everyone has somewhere they are trying to get to, driving carelessly and recklessly isn't helping anyone. If ya'll can do that, maybe next year another Indiana city will take home this "honor."
