According to a report on WCNC, many of us in North Carolina need to go back to driving school. A new study from an insurance comparison company found that North Carolina drivers rank among the worst in the country.

A finding from QuoteWizardthat shows that North Carolina ranks as the 18th worst state for driving. South Carolina wasn’t far behind, ranking as the 20th worst state.

The website used over 10 million insurance quotes from across the nation and ranked states on four factors: accidents, DUIs, speeding tickets, and citations.

Carolinians can be happy they don’t live out west. Utah and California take the top two spots as the worst drivers in the country. According to the study, the best drivers in the nation reside in Connecticut, Michigan, and West Virginia.

Check out the whole list here.

A Study Says This Is The Most Fun City In North Carolina

What would you say is the most fun city in North Carolina? It has to be one of the largest right? Well, that is right. But how can you tell for sure? Especially when what people consider fun understandably varies? Maybe you like trying new restaurants, traveling, going to bars and clubs, or playing outdoor sports. Some people like to spend as much time outdoors as possible. Others enjoy riding roller coasters, going to the movies, or playing video games. All are fun for different people! But having fun can be expensive. Our friends at WalletHub report that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average American spends over $3,500 on entertainment per year. Somehow I feel like I exceed that.

But when people have such different preferences, what, then, makes a fun city? That’s where WalletHub comes in.  They define a “fun city” as one that packs a little bit of everything for everyone. If you want a city with enough variety, you won’t have to compromise with your friends, your family, or even yourself about the next fun activity to participate in. So to help Americans find the cities with the greatest number and variety of fun yet cost-effective options, WalletHub compared more than 180 U.S. cities based on 65 key metrics. They range from fitness centers per capita to movie costs to the average open hours of breweries. This helped them to compile their “Fun Cities List”. So which is the most fun city in North Carolina? Keep reading to find out. You’ll see where each NC and SC city ranked as well as the top 10. Do you agree? Let us know!
