You probably have a few States in mind when they picture the worst drivers in the America. Most often it’s snow birds invading your lane, but some states carry a nationwide bad-driving reputation. So while it is perhaps fun to joke about the bad road etiquette of certain motorists, bad accidents and negligent driving are no laughing matter. From serious injury to car repairs draining savings accounts, living somewhere with bad drivers can have a serious negative impact on your life.
Below we rank the states with the worst drivers. To do this, we look at a total of four metrics. We look at the percent of drivers with insurance, number of DUIs per driver, average number of deaths per miles driven and how often residents google terms like traffic ticket or speeding ticket. Check out our data and methodology below to see where we got our data and how we put it together to create the final ranking.
