What ethnicity has the worst drivers

Driving in UAE comes with a lot of regulations and fines. But no nation can claim 100% safety acquired by drivers. It’s a hoax! UAE has surveyed to find which nationality falls into the best and the worst drivers category. According to data from the insurance comparison site Yallacompare, the statistics reported Pakistani drivers had been associated with the lowest collisions.

Best And Worst Drivers In The UAE

The top regional financial website, Yallacompare, identifies which nations claim to have the finest drivers. Insurance claims for motor vehicle accidents decreased in 2020.

According to user data from Yallacompare’s insurance comparison website, which provided over 500,000 quotations last year, Pakistani drivers reported having the fewest accidents while the UAE’s roads were safer in 2020.

Compared to 2019, when 8% of Yallacompare customers reported requesting their automobile insurance within the previous year, 3.8 percent did so in 2020.

The Declining Bar Has Motorists From Small Nations

The comparison website also examined the volume of claims by country. The results suggest individuals from France, the United Kingdom, and Australia can be encouraged. They stand to be the safest motorists in the country.

When the nationalities of the customers break down this data, Pakistanis had only 2.5 percent making this claim in the previous year. This was significantly better than the second-placed nation, where 3.2% of customers filed claims during the last year. Filipinos, Syrians, and Jordanians took third, fourth, and fifth place, respectively. With 5.5 percent of customers making claims in the last year, Emiratis had the most claims out of Yallacompare’s top 10 client demographics.

Insurers utilise the information provided by clients when purchasing insurance to determine the cost of a premium. Based on their claim record, clients may receive discounts and offers of 30%.

(CNN) — Planning on a European vacation this summer? Look out for aggressive, dangerous and drunk drivers -- at least, according to the Europeans.

A new survey has found that 79% of them have a negative opinion of their fellow drivers -- while, of course, 97% of them take pride in their own excellent driving.

The survey of 12,400 Europeans in March 2022 was commissioned by France's Vinci Autoroutes, which manages French freeways. It was conducted by polling company Ipsos, which asked at least 1,000 people in each of 11 countries about their own driving habits, and those of their fellow drivers, at home and abroad.

By the looks of it, vacationing drivers will be in for a shock. A whopping 42% of Poles said that driving is about "every man for himself" (compared with just 7% of Spaniards), while a quarter of Brits claimed not to be the same person behind the wheel as in front of it.

The survey also takes on national stereotypes and -- often -- finds them to be true. Just 16% of Italian drivers said that their fellow Italians were polite, while 14% of French drivers reckon that French drivers are stressed.

True to form, the Brits seemed the most self-effacing, reckoning that just 68% of their fellow drivers paid attention, and under half being calm and courteous.

However, when it came to judging other nations, things looked a little different. The Germans -- known for their hyper-speedy autobahns -- decided that just 30% of other countries' drivers were aggressive, and even fewer irresponsible.

The least judgmental were the Spanish and the Brits, 70% of whom had something negative to say about their friends on mainland Europe. That sounds like a lot, till you hear about the others.

If you're heading to Greece this summer, you might want to get a good night's sleep and grab a coffee before hitting the road to make sure you're on top form. The Greeks were the most critical of other nations' driving habits, with 91% of them using negative descriptions of their peers.

Having said that, they also came top for self-reported "uncivil behavior" in their own cars, with just about half reporting swearing, honking, overtaking on the wrong side of the road, or leaping out of the car to have words with another driver. They were also the country most likely to tailgate an 'annoying' car in front. So keep those eyes on the rear view mirror if you're planning a trip to Greece this summer -- or consider Slovakia, which came bottom in the tailgating table.

Greece also topped the board of drivers who use their phones while driving, with 77% admitting they make calls, and 83% reporting using their smartphone at the wheel. Spain came bottom of this table, with 62% using their smartphones while driving.

Greece also scored the highest on dangerous driving, with around a third of drivers admitting to behaviors like speeding, skipping a red light, not slowing down for roadworks, and not keeping a safe distance between cars.

Meanwhile only 20% of Greeks could muster anything positive to say about other nations' drivers, while the UK again topped the board, with 50% saying nice things about their rivals.

The survey isn't the only nightmare holidaymakers are facing in Europe this year. The 'carmageddon' is pushing car rental rates to record highs, while the UK is continuing to see dozens of flights canceled daily.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever watched a terrible driver speed past, saw an out-of-state license plate, and thought, “Of course they’re from that state.”

We’ve all been there, especially during the time of Covid-19: Over the course of 2020, Americans drove more than 2.8 trillion miles.

While that number is down 13% from 2019, research shows that driving is still the preferred method of travel during the pandemic. Comparatively, air travel fell by 75% and rail travel as much as 47% during the same time period.

That’s not likely to change anytime soon, either. A recent study by the University of Chicago found that 1 in 4 Chicagoans will choose road trips over flying once the pandemic ends.

With so many Americans on the road, it made our group of expert truck accident lawyers and auto accident lawyers ask: Which states are home to the worst drivers in America? 

To find out, we considered the following:

  • DUI arrests per 100,000
  • Accident fatalities per 100,000
  • How  many drivers are uninsured
  • Number of Google searches related to terms like “how to get out of a ticket” and “car accident lawyer”

Here’s what we found.

What ethnicity has the worst drivers

The worst drivers in the US

There were a few things the worst drivers in America have in common: almost all have staggeringly high rates of accident fatalities and DUI arrests. 

New Mexico is home to the worst drivers in America, with an average ranking of 6 across the board. This is due to the state’s unusually high number of accident fatalities (25 per 100,000) and the percent of uninsured drivers (21%), both landing in the number three spot for those categories. 

It was followed closely by Alabama and Arkansas, whose drivers tied for the second- and third-worst in the nation. While Alabama had the lowest number of DUI arrests (1 per 100,000), it had one of the highest fatality rates (23 per 100,000) as well as a high number of uninsured drivers (21%). Likewise, Arkansas had high rates of fatality (21 per 100,000) and uninsured drivers (17%).

With the highest rate of accident fatalities in the country (31 per 100,000), Wyoming landed in the number four spot for worst drivers. To make matters worse, the state also has an extremely high rate of DUI-related arrests (683 per 100,000).

Rounding out the top five worst drivers in the U.S. is Montana. While Montana drivers don’t have an extremely high rate of DUI arrests (419 per 100,000, #14 rank), they do carry with them the sixth-highest rate of fatalities, at 21 per 100,000.

Here’s the full breakdown of the worst drivers in America:

What ethnicity has the worst drivers

The best drivers in the US

Surprisingly, the states whose drivers are typically labeled “bad” are actually home to the best drivers in the country.

Landing in the coveted number one spot is New York, with an average ranking of 47.3. In addition to having the second-lowest fatality rate in the country (6 per 100,000, #49), New Yorkers have extremely low rates of DUI-related arrests (156, #42) and a majority of drivers are insured (84%). 

Coming in closely behind New York, the second-best drivers in America are in Massachusetts. The state’s average ranking of 47 is, like New York, due to average-to-low rates of DUI-related arrests (163, #39) and the lowest fatality rate in the country (6 per 100,000).

Finally, Pennsylvania took the third spot. It’s no wonder, seeing as 83% of drivers are insured and the rate of DUI arrests per 100,000 is just 117 (#46).

Does driving skill vary by region? Our data suggests so. 

Of the top ten states with the worst drivers, almost half were southern states: Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, and South Carolina. On average, these states ranked #15 across the board due to their low to average DUI arrests but extremely high rates of fatality.

Western states (New Mexico, Wyoming, and Montana) accounted for one-third of the ten worst, with an average ranking of 12. Rankings were high in every category, particularly when it came to fatality rates, in which all three ranked within the top 10.

Meanwhile, you can find the best drivers in America in the northeast, particularly New York,  Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Connecticut. All had extremely low rates of DUI arrests, fatalities, and uninsured drivers.
