Arizona’s drivers being careless behind the wheel is the main reason for their treacherous climb to the top of the list. With an alarming 182 people murdered in 2015 while walking or biking on Arizona public roadways, a climb up the steep cliffs of the Grand Canyon seems safer than commuting by foot or bike alongside the drivers in this state.

This is why I don’t ride my bike on the bike lane on roads and instead ride on shared bike/walking paths as much as possible. Don’t wanna get killed by some soccer mom texting in her Tahoe.
