Forbes Advisor has listed the most dangerous states for drivers. Most of the data is from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The yardstick is fatal crashes and fatal crashes caused by negligence. The reason for this is to find an accident attorney. The list is pretty good, anyway. If people are worried about a fatal accident, these are certainly states to get out of fast.
Montana is the most dangerous state. New Jersey is the safest.
Unfortunately, for people who want to move for safety, they are 2,000 miles apart. An analysis of the list says Hawaii has the most fatal accidents because of speeding. Drinking causes the most fatalities in Texas. The state with the lowest level of deaths by drunk driving is Texas. (And these are the worst American cities to drive in.)
That is about the extent of the value of the list.
For those curious, the 10 most dangerous are:
| Rank | State | Score out of 100 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Montana | 100 |
| 2 | South Carolina | 98 |
| 3 | New Mexico | 96 |
| 4 | Wyoming | 82 |
| 5 | Texas | 79 |
| 6 | Louisiana | 75 |
| 7 | Arizona | 71 |
| 8 | Missouri | 63 |
| 9 | Oregon | 61 |
| 10 | Alabama | 59 |
