Bad drivers in Massachusetts?

Despite having fewer collisions than in the previous year, Massachusetts still ranked #1 for car accidents. 

The state government has been taking steps to improve road safety. For example, in 2020, it adopted a hands-free mobile phone law, and in 2023, passed a law requiring drivers to only pass vulnerable users (e.g. roadside workers) at a safe distance and reasonable speed.
