Rubes of the road

Dumb drivers:

Approximately one in three drivers said they usually do not stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. At least one out of five drivers did not know that pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right of way. At least one in five also did not know that roads are most slippery when it first starts to rain after a dry spell.

Indiana, in this nationwide test of driving knowledge, tied for 15th. Not bad. We scored 85.2 compared to the national average of 83.7. The least-knowledgeable drivers were in Rhode Island, the most-knowledgeable in Oregon.
