Most dangerous states to ride your scoot in the USA! (map)  By  scooter (Read 457 times)

hahaha. Texas and California had the most fatalities, but they also have the two largest populations. 
Texas had 3,382 fatalities out of about 26 million people, and California had 3,000 fatalities out of about 38 million people. Texas ranked 18th most dangerous and California ranked 39th. Montana only had 229 deaths but that's out of a population of only about 1 million people in 2013. D.C. only had 20 deaths, out of a population of about 400,000 people. Availability of public transportation was a factor as well. Having 30 people on a bus with a professional driver is generally safer than having 30 cars on the road with god knows who driving them while they text on their phones, drive drunk, etc. 

Edit:
Just for fun: If Montana had as many people as California, they would have had over 8,700 fatalities at their current rate. If Washington D.C. had as many people as California, they would have only had 1,900 deaths at their rate.
