Worst Driving Behaviors in Minnesota – Are You Guilty of These 5?

There are over 4 million licensed drivers in the state of Minnesota.  And if you are one of them, there is a really good chance that you've encountered another driver on the road that...let's just say...didn't have the best driving habits.

I love the "Minnesota Nice" that happens at a 4-way stop.  It is the persons turn to the right of you, but they waive you on and want you to go.  That IS NOT how a 4-way stop works.  Kind gesture, but not how the law was written.
