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.

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

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
