Your security on the road depends on many factors. Seat belts, road conditions, and, perhaps most alarmingly, other drivers. Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death for people under fifty in America, and over 36,000 people die yearly in motor vehicle incidents. When it comes to driver safety, however, there may be another important factor to consider: where you live.
Because protecting your family doesn’t end at home, driving trends were researched across America, aggregating data on motor vehicle fatalities to determine the safest places to drive.
The conclusion? The northeastern United States, where the old salts in New England manage to keep the rubber on the road, is your safest bet. Despite a reputation for aggressive driving (and some rather unsavory nicknames), Massachusetts’s drivers earn top marks, followed by New York.
Planning a road trip? Take caution on some of the Southern cross-country routes that cover scenic areas in Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas. These regions hit road blocks as some of the most dangerous states for driving in America.
