NEW YORK, the Reader's Digest revealed the best, worst and deadliest roads in America, and exposed the risks drivers pose to themselves and others. Reader's Digest then ranked all 50 states and determined the safest, most scenic and sensible roads, along with the most dangerous roads, including the top ten deadliest for DUIs and speeding.

Peggy Northrop, Reader's Digest VP/Global Editor-in-Chief, says, "For decades, Reader's Digest has been a vocal proponent of safer roads in America. We hope our readers will use this report as a guide to becoming more aware of the road conditions in their own states and correct the unsafe driving behaviour that transpires in the everyday lives of our nation's drivers."

The top ten states with the "Best Roads" include:

1) Kansas

2) Wisconsin

3) Montana

4) New Mexico

5) Utah

6) North Dakota

7) Wyoming

8) Nebraska

9) Virginia and

10) Oregon

The top ten states with the "Deadliest Roads" include:

1) Montana

2) Louisiana

3) South Carolina

4) West Virginia

5) Arkansas

6) Mississippi

7) Kentucky

8) Wyoming

9) Alabama and

10) Nevada

The article states, "Although Montana appears at No. 3 on the Best Roads list (good infrastructure, little congestion), it tops the Deadliest list in part because of drivers who drink, drive recklessly, or don’t wear seat belts."

Among the "Worst Roads" are Louisiana roads in general, but I-55 and I-12 east of Baton Rouge are particularly dangerous, the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-78 and I-80), I-95 over the George Washington Bridge in New Jersey/New York and the Will Rogers Turnpike (I-44) in Oklahoma.

The "Best Roads" list was determined by the latest data from the Federal Highway Administration, while the "Deadliest Roads" were calculated using a simple ranking of fatalities per 100 million miles driven. The story also offers simple solutions that legislators and local highway officials can implement to fix the problem.

The top ten "Deadliest Roads" for DUI include:

1) Montana

2) South Carolina

3) Louisiana

9) Alabama and

10) Arkansas

The highest ranked states for speeding include:

1) Alabama

2) Mississippi

3) South Carolina

4) Wyoming

The report also reveals what truckers report seeing on the open roads. Michelle Crouch, one of the authors of the article, reports that there are a number of factors that contribute to auto accidents. Some of the wildest things truckers have seen:

"One time on the 405 in LA, I saw a woman switch from a very nice business outfit into a leotard. At one point, she was just sitting there in her undergarments."

"What I see all the time is women steering with their knee, with the makeup mirror in one hand and a brush in the other, putting on eye shadow and blush going 65 or 70 miles and hour. Usually they're going back and forth across the line, running over and hitting the rumble strips. I blow the horn at them."

"A woman had her baby in the front seat next to her and was changing the baby's diaper."

"I've seen a lot of people sewing or knitting while they're driving. And, you know, that takes two hands."

"I had a lady pass me at 70 miles and hour, and I looked down, and her dog- a little Jack Russell Terrier- was standing on his back legs resting his paws on the steering!"
