#1 Article doesn't analyze deaths by individual highway. It reports on an analysis by Consumer Reports who looked at government data without apparently even understanding it.

#2 Hawaii among the safest. How far can you drive in Hawaii? Texas can take days to cross.

#3 Not even "Consumer Reports", but "Consumer Affairs", who 'analyzed' the data to score the points they wanted - seat belt use, speed limits, drunk driving laws (not enforcement). No per-mile data and no trend analysis.

Top notch!

#4 By the way - states use real data to determine where to pend their highway improvement money. In addition to the usual political considerations.

#5 How do the worst states compare in terms of raw or per capita or per road-mile illegal alien numbers versus the best states?

#6 Total deaths or deaths per miles driven? There is more than one way to slice up a dataset.

Most accidents happen within 25 miles from home, so we should all move. Do it for the children!

#7 My experience in Texas is they maintain their freeways which is more than I can say for California.

#9 It’s meant to be Georgia, Beavis, but they don’t have any Rantburgers copy-editing. Fixed.

#11 George along the Garden Route. Nice little place 20 years ago. Hope it still is.

#13 #7 Can confirm from recent road trip. The rest stops in Texas were top notch. CA are not much more than pit toilets.
