rankings, we built a composite score between four driving incident
factors:
- Accidents
- Speeding tickets
- DUIs
- Citations
Rankings are a composite score based on the rate of occurrence
between the four ranking factors. States considered to have the
worst drivers had the highest rates of each incident factor. States
considered to have the best drivers had the lowest rates of each
incident factor.
