Albuquerque is ranked 6th most dangerous place to drive

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – According to the latest federal data for fall 2019, there were nearly 8,300 deadly car crashes nationwide.

"When you look at driving – particularly in the fall with Albuquerque – it currently is the 6th most dangerous place to drive based on the rate of fatal collisions per 100,000 residents," Ben Williams of Teletrac Navman, a software company, said. He keeps track of highway safety data.

"You can, at times, especially toward the end of the season, encounter frost on the roads that can create a hazard," Williams noted. "You can also see the pressure within your tires drop quite considerably as the air temperature falls."

According to the study, the most common day for deadly crashes is on a Friday.

In 2020, Massachusetts came out on top as the state with the best drivers. Although it is great in every category from drinking and driving to speeding, it consistently has one of the lowest death rates throughout the country. This means that when you drive through or in Massachusetts, you are in the safest driving environment by state that you can get.

Now for the MOST dangerous ..drum roll..

Dallas has the most dangerous drivers in the country. So says Outdoorsy, an RV rental company with a lively blog. The company’s ranking of “The top 10 most dangerous cities for driving” was published in March..
