For the second year in a row, Mississippi tops this study and lays claim to the title of state with the worst drivers in the country. Just 76.30% of the drivers in the Magnolia State are insured, the second-lowest rate in this study. Mississippi has the eighth-highest search volume in our study for driving-related tickets, per Google Trends data. As far as fatalities go in Mississippi, 1.69 people die per 100 million vehicle miles driven, which ties with Kentucky for the second-highest rate in the study. That might be cause to up your life insurance policy. On the bright side, there are 3.72 DUI incidents per thousand drivers. That’s the 21st-fewest in this study.

What the hell does being insured have to do with your skill as a driver?

Stupid thing to add.

Alabama is #2 because a car ride with the family might mean getting distracted by some jobs below the steering wheel, and crashing.

So why is Louisiana's car insurance so high if we are 13th?

Where’d y’all end up?

People here are fricking terrible drivers, but I can read them fairly well now.

But do they come to a complete stop in the left lane waiting to turn left, when there is a turn lane right next to them?

We just moved to the ms gulf coast from philly... it is shocking how poorly ppl drive here. Alot of ppl come almost to a complete stop before turning. And eveyone is on their phone.



Just moved from Memphis to Madison, MS and it is alarming...and that's from someone that grew up driving in Memphis. A favorite move of the central MS driver is to either use the inside lane as the slow lane, or see you coming in the inside lane and move over in front of you as if to pass the car they were behind only to not gain any ground on it.

The left lane cruisers on the interstate and Baton Rouge drivers in general are awful. I've never had too many problems with the rest of the state, honestly.
