New Study Reveals Which States Have The Worst Drivers – Where Does Louisiana Rank?
We're not in the top 10, you guys!
According to a 2019 study done by SmartAsset.com, five of the top ten states with the worst drivers are in the south. However, that doesn't include Louisiana!
This is SmartAsset's third annual study. As it turns out, Louisiana wasn't in the top ten last year either.
So, how do they gather and spit out this kind of data? With these four metrics: fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles driven, arrests for driving under the influence per 1,000 drivers, percentage of drivers who are insured, and Google Trends on driving tickets.
Here are the top ten states with the worst drivers:
Again, thankfully we didn't see Louisiana in the top ten. But where exactly do we fall? Here's a list of all 50 states from worst to best.
