Hmmm … Texas did Okay but I find College Station (green) has pretty aggressive drivers - guess they are not in collisions very often …
Good to be aware, but doubt this is very reliable.
The methodology seems to just look at crash fatalities per 100k and ignores everything else.
Roadway design and maintenance affects the crash fatality rate. There are definitely differences in how roads are designed and maintained from place to place.
Traffic density and congestion probably play a part, too.
When you learn to drive playing Mario Kart...
They must be doing something right if they have such low fatality statistics. Baton Rouge on the other hand... I was shocked when I saw those drive through daiquiri stands. I can believe they have a lot of DUI related deaths when you can buy a giant mixed drink like you're at a drive through coffee stand.
That's the same way I feel, every time I read one of these reports on worst drivers, and don't see Boston listed in the top 10.
They measure fatalities and other speed-related data.
Eastern MA in general and Boston in particular are so congested fatalities are rare.
That said, a lot of places now have higher insurance rates than Boston.
