Safest Drivers in America?

[WWJD]

Where are the safest drivers in the country?
Magazine ranks Des Moines, Iowa at the top; Columbia, S.C. the worst

I guess we do okay for an area of a half a million plus some.

I'm right up the block from SC. They have a bad rep when it comes to driving. I'm not saying it's true, it's just what I hear

tractors don't count

 

[boazalmighty]

I would like to know just how they arrived at their answer

? Is it per 100,000 or what ? Cause out here we would beat'em everytime, since there "AIN'T MANY OF US"

it ain't the tractors ya gotta watch for - it's the dang combines....

Pay attention to the criteria though... Safest based on just a couple of stats The key factors in deciding the rankings include the total number of fatal accidents and fatal crashes caused by speeding.[/Quote]

KEY FACTORS...

Well yeah you're safe. All 40 of ya with a car, and nobody going over 55

? Sure, you're safe. Stuck out there behind farm implements ripping along at 25mph....

Just remember NY and NJ were also at the top of the list.... I proudly raise the BS flag and say without a doubt, that there are some pretty whacked statistics in use...

Never Forget.... Says so right on your license plates...

I diots

O ut

I spent enough time in Nebraska to know that IOWA is the home of the "Don't have anywhere to be" crowd.

Headquarters of the Anti-Destination league, and th eonly State in the Union that could make Nebraska look hip.

pick at it all ya like... I didn't create the report. The insurance companies do.... the ones that jack YOUR rates up cuz your city can't drive. BWAHAHAHAHHAHa

 

[fstbusa]

I may disagree with Des Moines being the safest but its definitely up there.
