That's how dangerous it is to drive in each state
The next time you hit the road, consider taking a detour to avoid these risky routes.
You always take a risk when you get behind the steering wheel. But beyond human errors and car problems, the route you choose to drive and the state that you can also play an important role in the way in whichprobably you get a car accident. In fact, the experts ofAutoInurance.org analyzed the most recent data of theNHTSA Fate Analysis Report System (Fars) And found that some states are much more dangerous to drive in others than others. They also discovered that, contrary to popular belief, more accidents occur on rural roads than the streets of the city. Even when the traffic differences are factored, the mortality rate per vehicle thousand piloted isthree times higher in the countryside compared to urban areas.
For drivers across America, we ranked each state of the safest for the most dangerous.
