QuoteWizard Study Finds Mississippi, Texas, and South Carolina to be the Most Dangerous States for Motorcyclists

Published: 2019-05-13 10:00:00 ET

SEATTLE, May 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- QuoteWizard®, a LendingTree company, and one of the nation's leading online insurance marketplaces, today released its study on the top most dangerous states for motorcycle riders.

Key findings:

Colder, more northern states like Alaska and New Hampshire have low fatality rates, while warmer, more southern states like Texas and Tennessee had the highest rates.

Warm weather states are most dangerous for motorcycle riders because of the year-round chances of road fatalities compared to the limited timeframes of colder weather states.

In 2017, there were just over 8.4 million registered motorcycles in the United States. That's a 23-percent increase over the last decade.
