NEW MEXICO CAME IN NEXT TO LAST IN THE BANKRATE.COM SURVEY WHICH USED NUMBERS FROM SEVERAL FEDERAL AGENCIES TO RANK STATES ON HOW GOOD THEY ARE FOR DRIVERS. IT CONSIDERED THINGS LIKE COMMUTE TIMES, INSURANCE PREMIUMS, GAS EXPENDITURE, COST OF CAR REPAIRS AND FATALITIES.
WHAT MAY HAVE HURT OUR STATE THE MOST IS THAT CAR THEFTS WERE ALSO FACTORED IN…A CRIME STAT WHERE NEW MEXICO DOES NOT FARE WELL.
CALIFORNIA IS THE WORST STATE FOR DRIVERS, ACCORDING TO THE STUDY, AND IOWA IS THE BEST.
