Im Australian and briefly confused Florida and Texas.

No surprise that the Yeehaw state lets you go 85.

The more unpopulated land a state has, the higher the speed limit, makes sense.

If you’re doing 80 on ice and snow you aren’t in a car 🤣

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.

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

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

I’m not sure this is accurate; I’m pretty sure I-87 through the Adirondacks in New York has a speed limit of 70. I-81 north of Syracuse might also.

I can confirm for you that I-81 is only 65 but you can drive 75 without having to worry about getting pulled over.

Of course the least responsible is Texas.

They just have long, open roads. Also, the 80mph is only during the day, it goes down for night driving. Honestly, those stretches of interstate are nice to drive on.

That used to be the case 15+ years ago, but is not true now.

I mean, I was there close to 10 years ago and it was true then.
