Iowa drivers rank among some of the nation's rudest, according to a new survey from a nonprofit organization that evaluates courtesy among drivers across America. Iowa got a “D” grade and ranked 41st overall on the list, finishing ahead of only Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Georgia, Maine, Wisconsin, Louisiana, Arkansas, South Carolina and New York. Iowa also got an “F” grade when it comes to letting cars merge in front of you and the use of turn signals, though state law does not strictly require drivers to use their turn signal. “Iowans are not nice to slow drivers but will respect your need for speed if you try to pass them,” according to the website. The survey was conducted as part of a Kars4Kids summer driving awareness campaign, Drive Human, which promotes better driving habits on the road. The goal, according to its website, is to remind drivers that they should share the road with other people rather than “faceless” cars.These states have the most courteous drivers: 1. Idaho2.
