What is going on everyone welcome back to the world according to Briggs, my name is Briggs and I make lists I make food
I make all kinds of things but this is how I make my living baton travel
Today's list was requested about 50 times after I did the cities with the most
DUIs people really want to know what state has the worst drivers sure. Why not?
It seems interesting enough and who doesn't want to know if the state they're thinking about moving to is filled with a bunch of poor
Decision makers that drive you know who I'm talking about. You see him on the interstate they're driving
They're texting they're speeding and they're looking for the Starbucks cup
They left on the roof of their car which now sits on the on-ramp
Where it fell off and then you have the DUI crowd
They are a whole different kind of dumb that we kind of talked about on that last video. Every state has them
There's no escaping them
It's just some states have more than their fair share of dumb drivers
And that's what we're looking at today states that went back for seconds when it comes to dumb drivers
So pull off the road to the next rest stop and watch my top ten states with the worst drivers
Number ten, Missouri, ah, yes, Missouri the show-me state
The only thing they're really shown anyone is that their driver's education?
Program really hasn't been implemented by a solid portion of the general public. I'll give them one thing
They don't rank terrible in drunk driving. They ranked 24th in the nation, which is middle-of-the-road
Obviously just about they do see 4.3 for every one thousand drivers charged with a DUI where it gets bad is
Laws that fall under the failure to obey which are things like speeding no license running red lights. No seatbelts things like that
They came in 11th in the nation. That's that's kind of high up. There. It gets better though last year five st
Louis County police officers were arrested on suspicion of drunk driving since then
They've all been cleared or they pleaded to a lesser offense. Now I get that they're only human and they make mistakes
But is that really a good example, they're setting for the general public. Luckily. They weren't on duty when this happened
Could you imagine a cop pulls over he walks up to your window? He's got beer in his hand. He's obviously twisted
I mean, what's the protocol there? Do you just kind of look at him and slowly drive away and hope he forgets about it
I don't know. Anyway, there were four hundred and ninety four crashes
186 injuries 172 DWI arrests and 14 deaths on Missouri roadways during the 2018 4th of July holiday
That's a lot auto insurance averages about
$1,600 a year in Missouri. That's kind of high
Number nine, Texas Texas has consistently ranked in the top five for the worst drivers in the nation since 2011 in
2016 Texas earned the ranking of number one for having the worst drivers of the nation drivers in the Lone Star State have actually made
Improvements to get themselves to the number nine spot on the worst driver list almost off the top 10 you're doing great
They did
Ok, when it comes to failure to obey they came in 29th, which isn't terrible
But the careless driving type things like texting while driving
Hitting parked cars while sober looking at your ant farm while you're in traffic
well
They came in as the 4th worst in the nation now recently in the news lifelong Texan Albert Bigler
95 years old hasn't been able to drive legally since July and he's not sure when he'll be able to do so again to renew
Your license in Texas the Texas Department public safety requires Bigler to provide a birth certificate or a US passport
He has neither Bigler can't get it either because he doesn't remember where he was born
He was born somewhere west of Fort Worth. But because his delivery on July 18th
1924 occurred in a house, no birth records exist. Maybe it's a good thing
He's not on the road now work zones are extremely dangerous in Texas. There were
27,000 car accidents in Texas work zones resulting in 813 injuries and a hundred ninety nine deaths in
2017 that's a lot the average price for auto insurance for a complete year in Texas is almost seventeen hundred dollars a year
Number eight, Tennessee
Tennessee earned the eight spot for the worst drivers in the United States only 80 percent of the Volunteer State drivers are insured
That's the 5th lowest rate in the country in case you didn't know it is required by law to have
vehicle insurance in the Volunteer State
Just like every other state their average insurance cost is about seventeen hundred dollars a year the state also sees three point six three
Duis for every thousand drivers it is also the ninth highest state for googling driving related tickets
That's according to Google Trends. It also leads the country in searches for what is the clap? I'm not even kidding
It doesn't stop with automobiles in Tennessee
This got his horse involved Hamilton County Sheriff deputies arrested John Arnold in Tennessee after
Receiving several reports on the night of September 5th that an intoxicated person was on a horse
That's according to local Fox affiliate. And guess what? He was intoxicated and he was on a horse. Luckily. He had his clothes on
Number 7 Alaska Alaska isn't a great place for drivers
This state has five point eight DUI incidents per thousand drivers every single year
that's the fifth most in the country and there's about
1.6 fatalities per every
100 million vehicle miles driven in Alaska the fourth highest rate in the country on the other side of the coin
The state has the third lowest rate for searches for traffic related tickets. So that's good news
They're not too concerned about their bad driving
Icy roads and moves come into play far too often in the state people actually sign up for moose roadkill meat every single year
I'm not kidding about that
They actually put you on a list and when they you know, get a moose it gets hit gets killed
they actually
You know harvest it or whatever they call that and then they call people on the list come pick up their moose meat
They won't give it to the person that actually hit the moose in fear that it would encourage people to buy
junker cars and try and hit him on the highway so they can have moose meat eighty four point three percent of the drivers in
Alaska which is also known as the last frontier are insured
Alaska has jumped up on the bad driver stats since 2015 the Alaska Department of Transportation
partly blames the 60 million in
Budget cuts for the increased traffic deaths which greatly decreased the manpower for road work and snow removal across the state, so it's pretty bad
Number six Arizona, Arizona is next on our list of drivers shame and that's because Arizona has an insurance rate of eighty-two percent
That means eighty two people out of every hundred have car insurance. That's not good
Arizona also has four point eight DUI instance per every thousand drivers and one point six people get killed per year for every 100
Miles driven that's not good at all in terms of searching for driving related tickets
Arizona ranks 14th highest Arizona leads the country in vehicles. That should not be on the highway
They impound more non roadworthy vehicles per capita than any other state
I guess when you're tired and on a fixed income, you don't want to be shelling out money for tires on your
1989 Chrysler LeBaron probably you don't look at it as a good investment. Here's some good news
They averaged 1,300 a year in car insurance, which is kind of low compared to the other ones on this list so far
Number five, Nevada
Nevada is the next state filled to the brim with bonehead drivers insured drivers make up only
86 percent of all the drivers in the state which is a higher percentage than 28 other states
Nevada as you can imagine kind of knocks it out of the park when it comes to DUIs
There's about five DUI arrests per thousand drivers every single year the 13th most in the country. That's sort of a no-brainer
You probably saw that one coming
Most of the population and tourists are in Vegas and people aren't heading to Sin City for Bible studies
Am I right or am I right? I'm right
Nevada also has the highest rate of searches for traffic related tickets according to Google Trends
They also lead the country in searches for tattoo removals. And where can I get the world's largest margarita?
Number for Florida buckle up
This next one's alarming just seventy-three point three percent of the residents in the Sunshine State have auto insurance the lowest rate in the nation
That means more than a quarter of the residents have decided to ignore the law because they're either broke or just dumb
DUI rate is the eighth lowest in the country with two point one seven incidents per thousand drivers. So that's good
Florida has the 11th highest rate of searches for traffic related tickets, which isn't good
I mean if you're looking for that that means you've got some problems
They also lead the country in searches for what insurance company. Does that lizard work for which is Geico?
I thought that was interesting, Florida has
1.5 highway fatalities for every hundred million miles driven every single year. It's not a good number
The average car insurance rate in Florida is about eighteen hundred dollars a year about thirty percent higher than the US average
Maybe that's why they're not paying their auto insurance. It's too damn high
Number three, California
California comes in next the Golden State has the sixth highest rate of searches for speeding and traffic tickets
They also lead the country in searches for is Starbucks open on Christmas will Canada
Let me move there and how to spot a narcissist
I'm not even kidding
Seeing that I just said the word California will pause here for those of you that need to make that comment about a liberal
Cesspool and human crap with hypodermic needles on the streets comment. We get them every time California's mentioned
So we'll watch this video while you type away
California also has the twelfth lowest percentage of
insured drivers with eighty-two percent the risk of getting in an accident with an uninsured driver may be something you need to discuss with a
Financial adviser in California, there are almost five
Duis per thousand drivers at about one point one three fatalities for every 100 million miles driven in, California
California also leads the country in drivers last seen running from a car accident
Number two
Alabama another southern state has made the list Alabama in case you don't know
Tennessee is a southern state for those of you in the South that just screamed
No kidding at your computer and probably spit something out. Keep in mind
Most people in this country think the South only consists of Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida and, South Carolina
They for some reason don't understand that Texas is sometimes in North Carolina and Arkansas are all part of the south. It's really weird
I know geography I get it a lot of people don't anyway
Alabama has the sixth lowest percentage in the nation for insured drivers with just eighty one point six percent of the drivers actually pay for
auto insurance
There are 1.8 DUI incidents for every thousand drivers, which is actually the sixth lowest for this metric in the country
That's pretty good
But there's still one point five fatalities per every 100 million vehicle miles driven
And that's the six highest rate overall in the country. They also lead the country in running into trees. That's weird
I mean they got a lot of trees there in Alabama
But it's not like they're known for trees, but people are known for running into trees there and dear apparently
And
number one
Mississippi and four
I don't know how many times Mississippi takes its rightful position as the king of suck with the worst drivers in the country
Just seventy six point three percent of the drivers in the Magnolia state are insured
That's the second lowest rate in the country
Mississippi has the sixth highest search volume in the country for driving related ticket issues per Google Trends and
Also, they lead the country and searches for what if my second cuz it looks hot in a sundress as far as fatalities go
Mississippi has one point six nine people die per every hundred million miles driven
That might be a good enough reason to buy life insurance policy to cover your mortgage
So your family doesn't lose the house. You just bought when you move to the Magnolia state on the bright side
There are three point seven two DUI incidents per thousand drivers. That's the twenty-first fewest in the nation
That one's not bad. The other things are pretty bad there. They also are pretty high on non roadworthy vehicles
Also, they came in third
