what the hell

I don't usually read Men's health but this article caught my eye. It was also featured on WLTX. Men's health ranked Columbia SC as having the worst drivers in the USA. I am going to attach the article below, please post comments on what you think.

Columbia) - If you read the April issue of "Men's Health Magazine" an article called "The Capitals of Crash" may have caught your eye. After all, it says Columbia drivers are the worst.Driver, Wendy Hartshorne said, "I haven't experienced anything horrible. It doesn't seem like anything worse than anywhere else I've driven."According to the article, out of 100 cities, Columbia drivers are last when it comes to safety on the roads.To calculate the rankings, the rate of fatal accidents, deaths caused by speeding, accident frequency and seatbelt usage were considered.Most of the data comes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Columbia resident, Dexter Ashford said, "If you have ever driven on I-26 around 5:00 or 5:30, it wouldn't surprise you."Still, Ashford says it's nothing to get road rage about.He said, "I think they're bigger things to worry about than how somebody rated our driving in Columbia."Sgt. Michael Modica supervises the Columbia Police Department's Traffic Unit. He says the stats can't be current.Sgt. Modica said, "A lot of times what we might have going on there is statistical data from 2005 because a lot of the information from 2006 is still being entered in our data and the highway department."Last year, Sgt. Modica says there was a decrease in traffic accidents by almost 12%. Fatal accidents decreased by 46%.Sgt. Modica said, "We really don't believe it's accurate. We've seen a lot of improvement in the city."The article also says St. Louis, Greensboro, North Carolina and Jackson, Mississippi has some of the worst drivers.The best drivers are in Des Moines, Iowa, Jersey City and New York.
