SC has Second Worst Drivers

South Carolina has the second-worst drivers in the nation, according to a new report by CarInsuranceComparison.com. The rankings say that Louisiana has the worst drivers. The scores are based on things like a state’s fatality rate, number of DUIs, and the number of tickets for speeding, careless driving, running traffic lights and not wearing seat belts. The South Carolina Department of Public Safety questions the numbers used in the report that rank the state second worst. For example, the state’s fatality rate is down, with 108 fewer fatalities this year than during the same time last year. Moreover, the state’s seat belt usage rate is 91.7%, much higher than the national average of 85%.
