Louisiana improves to 3rd worst drivers in the country

#3 – Louisiana

Best Ranking: Speeding – 38th
Worst Ranking: Failure to Obey – 2nd

Louisiana lands towards the top of this list every year, and in 2011, 2013, and 2016 it won the embarrassing title: The State with the Worst Drivers in America.

If it wasn’t for a lower ranking in Speeding, Louisiana would have maintained that infamous title two years in a row, because in every other category this year its drivers ranked top 10 — worst of the worst.

In 2015 and 2016, Louisiana ranked 1st (as the worst) for the category, “Failure to Obey,” and this year it’s still Louisiana drivers’ greatest weakness just a speck better at second worst in the nation.

Here’s why Failure to Obey is Louisiana’s greatest mistake:

184 motorists driving with an invalid license were involved in crashes where people died.
247 people died in crashes that could have lived had they simply worn their seat belt.
259 deadly crashes were caused by drivers ignoring traffic signs and signals.
Sadly, the above death counts only refer to fatal crashes in one year in one state. That’s far too many deaths that could have been prevented by drivers obeying the law.

Worst Drivers Top 10:
1. Montana
2. Arizona
3. Louisiana
4. Texas
5. Nevada
6. South Carolina
7. New Mexico
8. North Carolina
