Your security on the road depends on many factors. Seat belts, road conditions, and, perhaps most alarmingly, other drivers. Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death for people under fifty in America, and over 36,000 people die yearly in motor vehicle incidents. When it comes to driver safety, however, there may be another important factor to consider: where you live.
Because protecting your family doesn’t end at home, driving trends were researched across America, aggregating data on motor vehicle fatalities to determine the safest places to drive.
The conclusion? New England, where the old salts in Massachusetts manage to keep the rubber on the road, is your safest bet. Despite a reputation for aggressive driving (and some rather unsavory nicknames), Boston’s drivers earn top marks, followed by New York City.
Planning a road trip? Take caution on some of the Southern routes in Birmingham, Memphis and Jacksonville. These places hit road blocks as the most dangerous cities for driving in America.
