Do North Carolina Drivers Rank Among the Worst Nationwide?

7/2/20

As lockdowns in some states ease but air travel may still seem risky, roadtripping has become a popular option for Americans looking to get out of the house this summer. In fact, recent data from popular vacation rental sites show an uptick in bookings for destinations within driving distance.

Data indicates that drivers are more irresponsible in some states than others, so some people may want to exercise additional caution as they hit the road.

In a new study, SmartAsset identified the states with the worst drivers by analyzing metrics including DUI arrests per 1,000 drivers, fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles driven and the percentage of insured drivers. 

North Carolina ranks in the middle of the pack, tying with Maryland, Michigan and South Dakota in the 25th spot on the list. To see how all 50 states stack up, check out the table below.
