According to a New Study, Texas DOESN’T Have the Deadliest Drivers

If you've done any driving in the big cities, you know there are a LOT of lousy, annoying drivers. But it could be worse: They could be DEADLY.

A new study by Forbes looked at the states with the worst drivers. The DANGEROUS ones that have driven recklessly while drunk, drowsy, or distracted, and have been involved in FATAL car accidents.

And that's happening more on the wide open roads of Middle America.

They crunched all the data, and New Mexico tops the list of states with the WORST drivers.  Wyoming is second, followed by Texas, Oklahoma, Montana, Louisiana . . . Kentucky, Kansas, Mississippi and Missouri.

Mississippi has the highest total number of fatal car accidents. Montana has the highest number of drunk drivers involved in fatal crashes and New Mexico has the highest number of fatal car accidents involving a distracted drivers...which makes sense. Their roads are so awful, you pay more attention to avoiding the potholes than actually driving!

The state with the BEST drivers (or the least dangerous ones) is Massachusetts. And six of the 10 best (which include New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island) are in the Northeast. (I think it's because they all think they're classier than us!)

I prefer when studies use parameters like they did in this one. I want to know the specifics with things like this! I know your idiot neighbor can't drive, but how many people have lost their lives to said idiot? None? Well, maybe he's just an idiot and not a 'deadly driver'. There's a difference, you know!
