Motorists Beware: How your State ranks
 
http://www.motorists.org/2014-states-ranking/

Driving through several cities here in WA I feel like big brother is always watching and see I camera's on poles at intersections all over the place.

I spent my youth dreaming about leaving Utah, now looking at this Utah seems a bit more appealing... No nevermind, j/k. :D

Seems to be a trend of less population = better score. Not surprised...

Interesting, none of the states in the best 20 have significant population density.

There other significant correlation is that of fiscal responsibility. The 20 worst have a responsibility score of under 10 with the exception of WV, averaging a 7.7. The 20 best states have an average fiscal responsibility score of 11.45.

All the categories add up to a higher score, so in that they all have a correlation, it just seems to me the fiscal responsibility category appeared more consistent and significant along with the population density.


I don't think it's necessarily along the political divide either, regarding fiscal responsibility in this chart because they define their category of fiscal responsibility specifically to transportation:

Whenever you get those thoughts, just remember the smell of dead and dying brine shrimp blowing off the lake in the heat of July.

Figured MD would be #6 :barf:

I hate driving anywhere NEAR the I-32 or I-100 corridor at anyplace or anytime :paddle:

More cops than damn drivers, just waiting with nothing to do other than stop people going 3mph over the limit, smh

New York is 2nd, but i can go speeding in PA and NJ without points...so i'm satisfied.

I'm confused...everyone here goes 15 over without getting tickets.

I mean anyone who's driven on the Jersey Turn Pike know this...

Wished monster potholes was a factor too. Would solidify nj/NY in the top ranks.

Texas is further down the list than I expected.
