Settling a heated debate: Are Maryland or Virginia drivers worse?

Some Maryland and Virginia drivers like to take jabs at each other for being bad drivers, but a new Forbes Advisor survey says things are actually much worse in one of the two states.

When it comes to the states with the most confrontational drivers, Maryland ranks No. 7 in the country, the survey finds.

The survey puts Virginia down at No. 44 and D.C. wasn’t ranked. Delaware came in at No. 10.



The Forbes Advisor survey asked drivers — among other things — whether they’ve been cut off, blocked from changing lanes, or honked, yelled, cursed at or threatened.

Drivers were also asked about whether they'd ever been run off the road or had a gun pointed at them.

Utah was ranked as having the most confrontational drivers.

Forbes Advisory surveyed 5,000 U.S. drivers who own a car (at least 100 in each state) for the ranking. The data was collected in late August.

Kennedy Center renews call for Trump-backed shutdown after part of a ceiling collapses

WASHINGTON (AP) — A chunk of ceiling fell inside a main hallway of the Kennedy Center, according to a spokesperson who said the damage underscores the need to shut down the historic arts venue for renovations sought by President Donald Trump. No one was injured when a piece of the ceiling inside the Kennedy Center's grand foyer collapsed Friday evening, said Roma Daravi, the center's vice president for public relations. Photos provided by the center showed a large hole in the high ceiling and debris littering the red carpet in part of the hallway that connects the Kennedy Center's three main performance auditoriums. The damage occurred during stormy weather in Washington. The Kennedy Center's Trump-aligned board is fighting in court to move forward with plans to add Trump's name to the building's facade and to close the center for two years as it undergoes $250 million in renovations.
