DES MOINES, Iowa – A study has found Iowa has the second best drivers in the nation.

A list of the nation’s worst drivers was compiled by carinsurancecomparison.com factoring fatalities, drunk driving, speeding, careless driving and failure to obey.

The data was provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Minnesota was ranked the best state while Montana and South Carolina tied for having the worst drivers.

The study’s authors say the data is used by insurance companies to determine drivers’ premiums.

The same pollsters ranked Iowa drivers as the ninth best in the country in 2013.
