Motor vehicle accidents happen in every state, but if you’re wondering how does Montana compare to other states as far as safe driving, the answer is not good.  The national home security brand SafeWise is ranking Montana among the most dangerous states for drivers in its 2017 report; coming in just behind North Dakota and New Mexico.

KULR.com reports that SafeWise concluded Montana’s total fatalities per 1,000 drivers is .186.  North Dakota scored a .256 per 1,000 drivers.  The site said security on the road is ranked by factors like seat belts, road conditions and other drivers.
