A recent study gave Louisiana the dubious honor of being proclaimed the state with the worst drivers in the nation. The safest driving state was Rhode Island, followed by Connecticut, Massachusetts, Virginia, and New Hampshire. "The key to budget travel is to plan ahead. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the actuality of expense and budgeting is generally in the back of our minds. Organizing and spending our travel budget carefully is a priority for most families. Lowering spending and expenses, while still savoring your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured accomplishment and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding saving money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal funds is incredibly limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, no matter whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel expenses!..". Other states that ranked in the bottom of the list besides Louisiana included Missouri, Florida, Texas and Oklahoma.
Five factors were considered when determining the rankings; fatalities per million miles traveled, drunken driving, the number of tickets issued, failure to obey traffic signals and carelessness. Louisiana finished in the bottom 10 of every category except failure to obey. When it came to driving fatalities per million miles, only Montana ranked worse. The report compiled data from the National Highway and Transportation Safety Administration, the National Motorist's Association, and the Governor's Highway Safety Administration. Read the entire report at Car Insurance Comparison.
It's no secret that Louisiana has one of the highest insurance rates, and bad driving is one of the factors that impacts those fees. Careless driving can be improved by putting down the cell phone, concentrating on the task of driving, driving sober and limiting speed. New laws are being passed in many cities, districts and states concerning cell phone use, and many more states are coming on line. Talking on hand held cell phones while driving is banned in ten states, but not in Louisiana. In respect to novice drivers, Louisiana does have a law and there is a law on the books banning texting for all drivers in Louisiana.
Motorcycle riders are part of the statistics and can help promote safer driving by being responsible drivers, riding sober, and becoming active in organizations like ABATE of Louisiana that promote safe driving laws for motorcyclists.
