Florida's automobile transportation system fails a lot of tests. The latest is a study by WalletHub that ranks the financial risk of driving in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Chris Joseph shares news of a new study by WalletHub that ranks states based on the greatest financial risk from driving. The "risk factors" study ranks Florida as the worst state for drivers.
"The study shows that a whopping 23.8 percent of drivers in [Flordia] are riding around our streets and highways without insurance or, at the very least, not enough insurance," reports Joseph. That's compared to the least risky state, Maine, where only 4.7 percent of drivers lack insurance.
A map of the complete rankings can be found below.
