North Carolina City Ranks in the Top 10 for Best Drivers in the U.S.
Who in North Carolina has some of the best drivers? Forbes most recently came up with a list of cities in the United States that have the worst and best drivers. Thankfully, North Carolina came out on top with the best side. There were different factors that played a part in creating this list. For instance, Forbes looked at how many accidents were recorded in the city with drunk drivers and accidents that occurred without someone being impaired. Other factors that played a part in the rankings were speeding tickets and insurance costs which determined which city had the best drivers.
Top 10 Cities with the Best Drivers:
- Boston, Massachusetts
- San Francisco, California
- New York, New York
- Minneapolis, Minnesota
- Las Vegas, Nevada
- Washington, D.C.
- Oakland, California
- Raleigh, North Carolina
- San Diego, California
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Charlotte made the list that Forbes put together but they were ranked 15 in the country as far as having the worst drivers in the United States. By the way, most of y’all ride around here, I can see why. People need to go back to driver’s education around here sometimes. That information is based on how many accidents are had per 100,000 residents and Charlotte had 10.18 accidents per 100,000 residents and 3.81 accidents per 100,000 residents that were because of a drunk driver.
