Getting stuck in traffic is one of the worst ways drivers can spend their time on the road.
Fortunately for many drivers across the country, traffic isn't much of a concern in their state. This is great for drivers and insureds alike. Traffic can result in vehicles being exposed to a number of adverse road conditions, many of which can big implications on a drivers' wallet and insurance policy.
A recent article by Wallethub examined the worst states to drive in this year. To compare all 50 states evenly, Wallethub used four dimensions in their evaluation: cost of ownership and maintenance; traffic and infrastructure; safety; and access to vehicles and maintenance. They evaluated those dimensions using 23 relevant metrics; each was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the best for drivers.
