NJ legitimately has some of the worst, most aggressive drivers
Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst

On my state not all the drivers are the worst. Just those from 22, 16, 14 counties. That’s Crete, hastings, grand island

This use of bipolar has very little to do with the experience of most bipolar people. Bipolar rapid cycling is defined as four episodes per year, much closer to the change of the seasons than the change of weather from day to day.

What can I say, people love minimizing mental health issues and turning them into jokes.

what’s term for someone who has waaayyy more than four per year? like…four per week.

Capricious is my favorite adjective, rather than trying to ascribe mental disorders to global systems. If you’re asking regarding a specific human, you should talk to a psychiatrist — if it is disruptive to their life, it may be a sign of borderline personality disorder.

The all time record high temp and all time record low temp for my area are set on the same day about ten years ago. I’d say the weather here is a little wild

I think the most extreme and consistent bipolar weather I’ve seen was in Nevada where during the night it’d get down to 30°F (-1°C) and then almost as soon as the sun came up the frost would evaporate as daytime temperatures rose to 113°F (45°C)
In terms of chaos, I’d say Utah takes the cake. Not just because it can go from snowing to 90°F weather and back repeatedly in a week, but because during those chaotic weeks you can drive less than an hour in any direction and find completely different weather.
If violence in the chaos is desired, the southern Midwest probably wins. Tornadoes and golf ball sized hail will fuck up your day and then everything is unbearably sunny again. The east is a close second since it gets wrecked by hurricanes occasionally, but less frequently than tornadoes hit the midwest
I doubt Californians think their state is bipolar. Same with other temperate states.

The fucking Russian drivers are the worst and I saw plenty of them in Masuren and Ermland (Warmia) before Poland closed the border with the shitbag Muscovites from illegally occupied Kaliningrad.

Any northern country is disqualified as they know how to drive in snow. The worst drivers have to be a place that doesn’t get regular snow and rain.
I’ve had people say Vietnam is the worst, but everyone rides slow, are riding from a very young age, and are prepared for literally anything to happen on the road at any minute. The issue isn’t skill, it’s that they’re on hardmode, riding overloaded crap bikes with crap rubber while simultaneously texting, smoking, and drinking. They perform much better than I could in the same situation.

Nope, it’s always cloudy. Or like some valleys are cloudy and some are sunny. But they are predictable.

A day? In New England we say if you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes, it’ll change. And Boston drivers aren’t bad, just aggressive. New Jersey drivers are bad.

Boston drivers aren’t bad, just aggressive
Worcester on the other hand, has shit drivers

Which New England are you in? When it’s rainy/snowy, that weather sticks around for days. Generally speaking, most places with high humidity generally have more consistent weather. It’s areas with low humidity (and high elevation) where you get really big weather and temperature swings.

I grew up in Boston, I’ve lived in Phoenix for the last 25 years… I think you have that backwards, at least that’s been my experience.

Pennsylvania drivers take the cake. NJ is a mishmash.

Arkansas has the worst drivers. I’ve lived in 6 states and driven in many others.

Nah. The state I used to live in I wouldn’t say either of those things.

New Mexico - uhh, no? It’s just sunny…

I do know one New Mexico town that had a day with the record high and record low in the same year at least at one point. Probably has a new record high by now.
