Washington State in the Top 10 for Best Teen Drivers — Believe it or Not

You've driven down a side road just to avoid those 'driver's ed' cars, haven't you? Well, as it turns out, we're safer than most as Washington State ranked in the top 10 states for best teen drivers! See, those great Driver's Education classes we have are working!

More shocking is that the number one spot belongs to New York. Odd because if you live in NYC, you never drive. Number two belongs to Oregon which is cool, too. I'm guessing Oregon is up there because the speed limits are so slow.

Washington State came in 7th place.

South Dakota, Wyoming and North Dakota round out the worst states for teen driving. Maybe it's because of all the snow, I'm not sure.
