Two Kentucky Cities Among the Worst Drivers in America
If you are traveling to either of these Kentucky cities, you might want to keep an eye out for all of the bad drivers.
While Kentucky is full of roads that offer great scenery and make for a great Sunday drive, we also have a few sketchy roads throughout the state too. Regardless of the road conditions, the one thing you always have to be cautious about is the drivers around you. We've all seen some careless drivers along Indiana roadways. For some, it's almost a daily occurrence. You know what kind of drivers I am talking about, careless drivers weaving in and out of traffic, distracted drivers, speeders, the list goes on and on. Furthermore, there are a few cities in the state where driving is much more hectic thanks to other drivers.
Recently, Consumer Affairs used data points from the U.S. Department of Transportation, including the number of fatal crashes, the number of fatalities caused by bad driving, the number of fatalities due to driving under the influence, and the prevalence of speeding in fatal accidents, to calculate a “crash score” and rank the cities with the worst drivers in America. If you're wondering what city has the worst drivers in America, that's Memphis, Tennessee. Now, if you want to know which Kentucky cities made the list, you may or may not be surprised by the results.
