The annual GMAC Insurance National Drivers test results are out and it appears that 1 in 5 drivers on the nation’s roads are unable to pass the written drivers test. The good news is that Kansas tops the list nationally with the highest average score of 82.9%. Missouri follows in at a close 8th in the nation with an average score of 81.3%. The average score nationwide was 77.9%.
So does a better score on this test make for a better driver? Although there is no way of tracking that statistic to date, logic says that having more knowledge of the laws of our nation’s roadways would certainly help drivers operate their vehicles more safely. With that in mind, it appears that men are better drivers than women, with 1 in 4 women failing the test. The northeast scored the lowest on the test, with the midwest region scoring the highest. Age appears to be a factor too. Drivers in the 60-65 age range were the highest scoring of all the age groups.
