Some states are notorious for having, uh, dubious drivers (take New Jersey, for example).
However, what is Pennsylvania’s position on the skill of its drivers?
The Keystone State’s drivers are really among the best in the nation, per a survey done and released by LendingTree.
Researchers at the website examined millions of LendingTree insurance inquiries between November 2023 and November 2024 to determine each state’s score as well as Washington, D.C.’s. The number of occurrences, which included speeding, DUIs, and other general tickets, as well as accidents, were then computed and taken into consideration.
The Pennsylvania findings from LendingTree are consistent with those of other comparable studies:For instance, one reported by PennLivein May even placed Pennsylvania tenth overall in terms of having the best drivers in the country.
However, according to LendingTree, Arkansas was the top state. Massachusetts is the worst.
Drivers in Massachusetts should be aware that, according to the report, the Bay State has the worst drivers, with 61.1 incidents per 1,000 drivers between November 5, 2023, and November 4, 2024.
Massachusetts has the highest accident rate by incident category. It is the only state with an accident rate of roughly 40.0, with 44.4 accidents per 1,000 drivers. Additionally, it shares the 11th-highest DUI rate with Tennessee, with 2.0 DUIs per 1,000 drivers.
