Six Indiana Cities Among the Worst Drivers in America

Six Indiana cities rank among some of the worst drivers in America. Do you think you know which ones made the list?

While Indiana is full of roads that offer great scenery and make for a great Sunday drive, we also have a few sketchy roads throughout the state too. Regardless of the road conditions, the one thing you always have to be cautious about is the drivers around you. We've all seen some careless drivers along Indiana roadways. For some, it's almost a daily occurrence. You know what kind of drivers I am talking about, careless drivers weaving in and out of traffic, distracted drivers, speeders, the list goes on and on. Furthermore, there are a few cities in the state where driving is much more hectic thanks to other drivers.

Recently, Consumer Affairs used data points from the U.S. Department of Transportation, including the number of fatal crashes, the number of fatalities caused by bad driving, the number of fatalities due to driving under the influence and the prevalence of speeding in fatal accidents, to calculate a “crash score” and rank the cities with the worst drivers in America. Thankfully, no Indiana cities made the top five. However, if you're wondering what the city with the worst drivers is in America, that's Memphis, Tennessee. Now, if you want to know which Indiana cities made the list, you may or may not be surprised by the results.
