The statistics are flawed. Alaska is only #6 because the whole state is regarded. Worst drivers of the USA = Anchorage. Outside the city the average AK vehicle operators drive OK. I have always missed the signs at the city limits which say: "Please leave your driving skills here!"

No, it should be vice versa. College kids seem to have less life experience + working-class-kids need to get to their jobs!

When you get a motorcyle licence here you are limited to 34 HP for the first two years - which makes sense IMO. However I could never unterstand that on the other hand you can put your arse into a 400 HP Porsche when you have a fresh licence.
