How’s your driving? More importantly: how are the drivers around you? The Zebra recently surveyed U.S. drivers on their driving behaviors: the good, the bad and the ugly. From that research, we learned how people drive varies greatly from state to state. So how are people behaving in your state?
Here’s the criteria we used to rank them:
- Good behavior: We ranked each state by the number of people who said they practice good driving behaviors including buckling seat belt, adhering to traffic signals, yielding to pedestrians/cyclists, coming to a complete stop at stop signs, etc.Â
- Bad driving witnessed: Also affecting each state’s score was how many people in the state reported witnessing aggressive and poor driving behaviors like changing lanes without signaling, tailgating, weaving in traffic, distracted driving, etc.
- Bad driving admitted to: In addition to what they witnessed, we also asked each state’s residents which poor driving behaviors they had done themselves.Â
Note: Unfortunately, not all states could be considered for this list because of a lack of respondents in those states. The states considered included: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.Â
