Connecticut Ranked at #2 in Safest States For Drivers in 2025
Do you feel safe driving around Connecticut? According to a new study, you should. A newly released study has ranked Connecticut as the second-safest state for driving in the US for 2025.
Connecticut is the in-between of two of America's largest cities, and the constant traffic between seems to be a good deterrent for speeding. There are very few stretches of roadways deserted enough for foolishness to develop, or so it seems. Connecticut does not have speed-enforcement cameras as of yet, but that will change soon in Washington. Street takeovers? Every week social media lights up with the news of another in New Haven, Hartford, or Bridgeport, should you worry? No, says WalletHub.
WalletHub.com has just released Best & Worst States to Drive in 2025, and Connecticut did ok in the overall rankings. Although we just missed the Top 20 overall, we've landed in the "Best" half at #22. To arrive at their rankings, WalletHub.com compared the 50 states across four key dimensions: Cost of Ownership & Maintenance (Connecticut landed at #33), Traffic & Infrastructure (Connecticut ranked #35), Access to Vehicles & Maintenance (Connecticut ranked #19, and Safety (Connecticut ranked #2). Owning and maintaining a vehicle is expensive here, we can all admit.
WalletHub.com took these into consideration when ranking the safety of driving in Connecticut: Traffic Indiscipline, Share of Adults Who Always Wear a Seatbelt, Traffic Fatality Rate, Car Theft Rate, Larceny Rate, Strictness of DUI Punishment, Share of Uninsured Drivers, Likelihood of Collision with Animals, and Driving Laws. The only state safer in which to drive in 2025 than Connecticut according to WalletHub.com? Rhode Island.
