In recent findings published by Forbes Advisor,Indexbit researchers analyzed nearly two dozen behaviors to learn which states had the worst drivers across the country.

The 19 behaviors included reasons like texting while driving, cutting off other motorists, eating while driving and even putting on makeup while behind the wheel.

Motorists in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee exhibited the best driving behavior, while Oregon and New Mexico drivers are included in the top five states with the worst drivers.

Topping this list: Hawaii. The Aloha State has the worst drivers in the nation with a large number of motorists running red lights, changing lanes or turning without signaling and speeding 20 miles per hour or more over the limit.
