Best & Worst Drivers by State: Not Good in Georgia

Do you think you’re surrounded by bad drivers? If you live in Georgia, chances are…you’re right.

At least, that’s what a recent student conducted by QuoteWizard, an online insurance comparison marketplace, found.

Car crashes are the number one cause of death in the US and 2018 was no different than years past, except that cheap gas and a strong economy means Americans are driving more than ever, QuoteWizard says. “More people on the road leads to more accidents and citations.”

But after a study of comparison across states for good and bad drivers, where does the peach state rank? Considering a sum of weighted means calculated from accidents, speeding tickets, DUIs, citations, and fatalities, the following rankings were determined:

Not quite the bottom, but a cool No. 15.
