I m going to go out on a limb and say you read that headline, shook your head, and chuckled a little in disbelief because you ve sat in long lines of traffic on the Lloyd, Burkhardt, or Green River Road more times than you can count. While that can be and is insanely frustrating when we re in the middle of it, especially if we need to be somewhere by a certain time, or we find ourselves getting a little hangry, the truth is, when it comes to going places around the area, we have it pretty good compared to other states, and now there s data to prove it.
Texas Ranked Best State to Drive In
Not many people can say their commute back and forth to work is the highlight of their day, but here in Texas, it could be worse.
That s if you believe the findings of a study conducted by WalletHub, which ranked Texas as the #1 state to drive in this year. (It makes you wonder if these people have ever driven in Houston)
To be fair, the study wasn t about most scenic state to drive through, but focused more on road conditions, traffic congestion, safety, and infrastructure.
Texas came out on top with a total score of 62.89. Indiana was 2nd with a 62.17 and North Carolina was third with a total score of 61.84.
