As Ohioans, we have a lot going for us.

Unfortunately, an annual study claims that driving isn't one of them.

According to the report from Quote Wizard, a company which compares insurance rates, Ohio drivers rank the 14th worst in the country.

In comparison, Kentucky drivers ranked 11th best in the country and Indiana drivers ranked 18th.

Top five states for drivers were Rhode Island, Florida, Mississippi, Michigan and Arkansas, while the worst five were California, Minnesota, Utah, South Carolina and Washington.

Officials at QuoteWizard said the study was taken from accidents, speeding tickets, DUIs and other citations from site users and information from the Federal Highway Administration.

The report follows one from the company earlier this year that ranked Columbus drivers as the 7th worst in U.S. metro areas, followed by Cincinnati at 32nd and Dayton at 45th.

“If you’ve ever been cut off by someone with an out-of-state plate and thought, ‘Oh, it figures,’ this study may be for you,” QuoteWizard's Adam Johnson said in a release.
