Four days after moving to Florida, I got into my first-ever car accident. In response, my co-workers simply shrugged. One of them grabbed my shoulder in solidarity. “Welcome to Miami,” he said, and then tottered off cackling.
A study released Monday has confirmed what anyone who’s driven on I-95, plowed through Wynwood’s stop-sign-free streets, tried to turn left onto Biscayne Boulevard, been cut off by a 100-year-old woman without a turn signal, or screamed at the sky in statue-still Miami traffic already knows: Florida is the worst place to drive in America.
The study, released by the website SmartAsset, studied every state’s propensity for driving tickets, traffic deaths, DUI arrests, and uninsured drivers, and ranked them all from worst to best. Those polite, sweater-wearing assholes in Massachusetts came in 48th. Florida, meanwhile, was ranked the worst place to drive in the nation.
