Mississippi can’t ever catch a break. Didn’t know they suck at driving there too
Canada has stronger traffic laws. Around 2010 or so, Canada’s traffic accidents began to tick down, whereas the US’s began to tick up. Eventually, that divide became very pronounced.
My friends from back home (very rural upstate NY) still will drink and drive most weekends recreationally. As in drive around the backroads while drinking and listening to music. I imagine other rural more red areas on this map still also have people like this with nothing to do in small towns.
Interesting how the highest deaths rates adjusted by distance driven, for region with large population is in sun belt region of US despite the general lack of ice and snow hazard on roads
Canadian here, having lived in Yukon and the Northwest Territories with a relative lack of roads, it is interesting to see the deaths so high. And Nunavut has no roads in between communities as well.
Wisconsin being blue considering their boozing is slightly surprising to me 😀
In Canada we still have terrible drivers and a high crash rate, however thankfully due to the traffic the speeds aren’t always high enough to be fatal.
It’s always Mississippi. Can’t we just give that state away? Maybe sell it to Mexico?
I feel like this map is just a proxy map of „how urban is your state/province/territory“ – if it’s highly urban, then there will be more deaths per mile, because there are so many more cars crammed together with each other and, in particular, with pedestrians and cyclists… in every mile.
4Look at, say, Saskatchewan – the population is spread out over lots of long roads & highways where you can drive 20 minutes without encountering more than a handful of other humans. Obviously, there are cities there, too, but even if we just think about transport trucking and schoolbuses, there are still a huge number of miles driven in very low-risk-of-collision situations. The reason Nunavut & Yukon appear bad is that there are *nearly* no roads outside of their main communities, and no distributed, spread-out populations. So again, the vast majority of all the kilometres driven are in higher-risk (denser-population) areas.
Mississippi smh
Just like to point out that New Jersey is the most densely populated state so our numbers are especially impressive.
Dam but insurance rates in Ontario are the highest ! Ain’t fair
Not really completely accurate – should be per 100 million miles driven, not per 1 million miles driven…
Im assuming Utah is blue because of a significant lack of drunk drivers lol
I can confirm that drivers in the South are awful
It’s interesting (and no offense here) but yet not much a surprise to me that Mississippi was shown a few days back on this page to have the highest homicide rates in the country, and now in this map the worst traffic fatalities in the states as well… Dang d:
lol learn to drive usa wtf
Seeing how insane drivers are in my city in Canada, it’s horrifying that most US states are multiple times worse.
Hm. And the 3 or 4 Native Floridians all blame New Yorkers for the terrifying driving in Florida.
Then you travel through Houston, Texas and realize most of Texas‘ numbers come from our wild freeway system and confusing short cut side streets!
HTX PROUD BABY!
As a Canadian I’m shocked we’re mostly in the blue zone lol. I always complain about driving habits here
When I traveled to yellowknife for the aurora it was minus 40 degree Celsius. There’s a road popular for Aurora watching that goes out of the city and I think about half of it had no cellular signal. I went with tour guides but still felt like you could very easily unalive in such environment. And for the first time I truly felt how small and vulnerable I was in nature.
Americans are shit drivers and Canada knows how to operate machinery without crashing. Simple!
How many roads in Nunavut? For being a high rate, been trying to figure out how to drive there.
If you can believe it, this *under*sells the difference between Canada and the US. New Jersey and Ontario are both blue, but the death rate in NJ is double ON’s.
As a resident of Ontario (and more importantly the Greater Toronto Area) …… how are we not bright red in this category?
You have any idea how many awful drivers there are here
The 401 is considered one of the worst highways in the world
I think the title is wrong. It’s actually deaths per 100 million miles https://www.iihs.org/research-areas/fatality-statistics/detail/state-by-state
Clearly the metric system is superior.
