My personal opinion is that those that have out-of-state tags are by far the worst drivers on the roads of Colorado. Yep, I am looking directly at you Texas drivers. whether you find Colorado drivers to be the worst or not could be a matter of personal preference. In reality, Colorado drivers are not all that bad compared to other states. In fact, Colorado drivers sit pretty close to in the middle when it comes to bad driving.

Well, we're in the lower half of the middle, but that is still the middle nonetheless. Colorado ranked 19th when it comes to bad driving according to Forbes. Anything to stay out of the top ten for the worst... We'll take it.
