Worst Drivers In America: How New York Ranks
Think New York drivers are bad? You might be surprised by a law firm's study of DUI arrests, lack of insurance and Google searches.
Below are the 10 states ranked as the worst in America by Friend, Levinson & Turner:
New Mexico
Arkansas
Alabama
Wyoming
Montana
Delaware
Louisiana
South Carolina
Tennessee
Missouri
New Mexico was found to have the worst drivers in America, partially fueled by a high number of crashes resulting in fatalities — 25 per capita — and the number of uninsured motorists in the state, 21 percent.
Although Wyoming had a relatively small number of uninsured drivers, 7.8 percent, it had one of the highest DUI arrest rates in the country with 683 per capita. The state also had one of the highest fatal-collision rates with 31 per capita.
Several states received the same score and were tied in their rankings. Arkansas and Alabama tied for second-worst drivers, while a three-way tie saw Tennessee, Missouri and Alaska vie for the ninth worst.
Conversely, the top 10 states with the best drivers are:
New York
Massachusetts
Pennsylvania
Connecticut
Illinois
Virginia
North Carolina
New Jersey
Ohio
Minnesota
Those states scored fairly low, according to the firm's assessment. New York had the second-lowest rate of fatal collisions, 6 per capita, and one of the lowest numbers for uninsured drivers, 6.1 percent.
