      What exactly is going on in Wisconsin that makes up for the sheer number of drunk driving performed on a regular basis? It’s so pervasive you don’t even get in big trouble until your 4th or 5th dui. But according to this map they’re one of the least fatal driving states.

      How is NJ so low, we have tons of traffic here. Maybe those jug handles are really helping us. Of course the heavy traffic does mean odds are the most collision prone times are moving slower.

      Anecdotally, I am from Ohio and have been in South Carolina for work this week. I have never witnessed a real car accident in Ohio aside from a few fender benders. I have already witnessed two severe, high-speed accidents in Greenville over the 6 days I have been here.

      Who chose this color scale?

      I can’t tell the bottom and the second from the top apart, and why not just make it progressively darker?

      I’m surprised Florida doesn’t have its own scale – to say the driving there is erratic and scary would be an understatement, turn signals must in an optional extra too far for most vehicles there.

      I looked at the data and I’m amazed by DC. Way higher than I expected for a place with basically no highways. Does this include pedestrians? I looked at the linked data and there’s been a huge increase in fatalities between 2016 and now.

      As a relatively new Arizonan, this tracks. Arizona drivers are actively homicidal and suicidal. Not to mention the heat-induced rage and a lot of retirees.

      As a Marylander who now lives in Kentucky….. Kentuckians cannot drive for shit.

      NH doesn’t require seatbelts or helmets, but we are way ahead of AZ?

      Is there even anything to hit your car with in AZ?

      Amusing concept… the undisputed drunkest place in the country is one of the safer places to drive.

      Wow, so people saying Maryland and Massachusetts drivers are the worst in the country are wrong?

      How shocking

      I’m shocked Texas isn’t higher. Around here the rule is if you aren’t doing 15 over the limit your ass is getting run over, and I see people diving into full lanes of stopped traffic at highway speeds at least once a month..

      You can get 1 year in jail in Virginia for going 20mph over the speed limit or going 85mph on any road even if the speed limit is 70mph.

      From Minnesota, this tracks. On a two-lane highway set to 70, right lane going 65, the left lane will go 70 and don’t you dare question it, since they’re at the physical limit of rubber-road.

      Which, I guess that keeps us slow and safe. All of my accidents have been with deer, one jumped out of a ditch and hit *me*.

      Pretty wild when you think about the stereotype of Mass and NY drivers and their numbers are solid

    22. XipXoom on

      Which is wild considering I don’t think I’ve ever seen a turn signal in use in Utah.

    23. Frustrated9876 on

      What’s up with Oregon? Speed limits are pretty strictly enforced there – it would seem a safer place as a result.

      This is a great and fascinating visualization.

      Just print the numbers below the state abbreviation. There would have been plenty of room and it’s easier to compare and more granular.

      I’m gonna say South Carolina is so high because their roads are so terrible.

      I feel like some states are more or less dangerous due to „i need to drive two hours just to get groceries“
