Massachusetts Ranked Seventh Worst State to Drive in.
I can't lie, when I first read this, I thought we would at least be in the top 3, so I'm a little disappointed.
On a serious note, the study was done by WalletHub, and they took 4 main factors into account: Cost of Maintenance and Ownership, Traffic and Infrastructure, Safety, and Access to Vehicles and Maintenance.
In accordance with the list, what really kept us from not cracking at least the top three was the last two from that list, scoring fourth and ninth best respectively. Under traffic and infrastructure, we pulled in a solid dead last, great job guys!
Oh yea, and for those people in Rhode Island (as of recently like me), we did NOT fair much better only being one spot ahead...
