jerkiest

Least smooth moving

Jerkiest is the superlative form of jerky, describing the most abrupt, uneven, or spasmodic movement in a group.

A car with transmission problems might have the jerkiest ride on the lot.

The word can also apply to behavior: among several rude people, the jerkiest one acts most like a jerk.

That was the jerkiest bus ride I've ever experienced.
