Now do traffic accidents per mile driven per state!
Found it. Well, it's fatalities instead of accidents, but I imagine it's similar enough.
There doesn't appear to be any relationship.
The more depressing it is to live in a state the more vehicle fatalities there are.
I just meant the two maps don't seem to correlate much.
Then why is Ohio green?
Ohio has extremely strict policing on the road. Seems to work.
I moved from Ohio to Texas, and the way the police just don't pull over people for speeding 20-30 mph over the limit blew me away. Police down here are chumps.
Ohio has become synonymous with lame/depressing. Kids call things "Ohio" now.
I'm sadly aware. But guess who doesn't die when they drive? Not me, i moved to texas so death by drunk driver it is for me. :(
Edit: messed up what I was trying to say.
Not to the OP, but the red states are all Republican. (Or almost all, I think)
If you consider Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky south of the Mason Dixon line there is a strong trend here
Very cool, thanks :D
I'm slightly surprised Vermont is medium considering we hardly have anyone out here but at the same time the few people here are typically oblivious drivers and we are practically a giant mountain range
