A new study says that Louisville has some of the best drivers in the nation.
QuoteWizard, a website that compares car insurance companies and quotes, recently ranked Louisville as the #6 city with the best drivers.
The site used four key metrics to determine overall driver quality: accidents, speeding tickets, DUIs, and citations (like running a red light or using a cell phone while driving) and compared 2020 data from 70 of the largest cities in America.
Out of those 70 cities, Louisville was #63 for accidents, #62 for speeding, #60 for citations, and #54 for DUIs.
Cities in the South and Midwest generally ranked much higher on QuoteWizard's list, while drivers in California were among the worst.
