The numbers are out.
Statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration suggest Pennsylvania drivers are worse than drivers from New Jersey.
"I don't think there is that much of a difference," New Jersey resident Donald DeGerolamo said. "To me, they're all the same."
The statistics take into account percentage of fatal crashes, drinking and driving, speeding and careless driving. Based on those factors, New Jersey is ranked 40th while Pennsylvania is ranked 15th for states with the worst drivers.
"No matter what state you are from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, everybody is just a crazy driver," Allentown resident, Chrisann Shoemaker said.
New Jersey resident Peggy Lee Keith agrees with the report, and says Pennsylvania drivers are some of the worst drivers she has come across.
"I just don't think they follow rules," Lee Keith said.
Allentown resident Thomas Fejes disagrees, and says he sees unsafe New Jersey drivers all of the time.
"I would say Jersey drivers are the worst drivers in the world," Fejes said. "They should have roll cages in their cars and double seat belts."
Whatever your opinion may be, insurance companies do take into account similar statistics to estimate risk and increase or decrease premiums as needed in specific regions.
