Georgia joins Florida as America's wang. Texas is the rear end in a top hat with hemorrhoids, making LA, MS, and AL the taint. Makes sense.

Montana is definitely because they have that "no speed limit during the day" law. MS, and SC are probably because of really lovely roads, and it's full of drunk rednecks.

Some of it probably has to do with people driving in city traffic generally moving slower so accidents are less likely to be fatal to people in either car, as opposed to highways or stretches of open road.

It doesn't explain everything on the graph though.

Now I have a hankering to pick the Ask Me About Being a Traffic Engineer thread back up again.

No longer true, actually - while Montana has on the books the "General Speed Law" that used to govern highway speeds (that is, a speeding ticket can be written for any vehicle travelling at 'speeds unsafe for the conditions'), there is a day-and-night speed limit on all highways and interstates now. Bear in mind this was only brought about when federal road funding was threatened to be revoked unless a limit was put in place.

Instead, blame should be cast on Montana's incredibly lax DUI laws - a DUI is not a felony offense until the fourth within five years.

As an additional fun fact, open container laws weren't state-wide until about 2009 - prior to that, it was per-city or per-county.

Isn't there still a state that doesn't have open container laws? I want to say...Arkansas?

No, they do not. They haven't had that for years. The law was that you had to keep to a "reasonable and prudent" speed, until 1998 when a guy ticketed for going 102mph appealed all the way to the state supreme court which ruled that that was unconstitutionally vague. So for the time between that decision and when the legislature passed a 75mph limit the next year, Montana had no speed limit at all, although you could still get ticketed for reckless or careless driving.

And as for "because," Montana's roads were safer during the "reasonable and prudent" era.

Again, no. When the Feds passed the 55mph limit in 1974 and threatened states with pulling their highway funding unless they implemented that limit, Montana did so, but set the fine for speeding at $5. Drivers would just keep $5s in their glove compartments to hand over to the cop along with their driver's license. When the Federal limit was repealed in 1995, Montana reverted to the previous 'reasonable and prudent' standard. Then that law was ruled unconstitutional in 1998, and the legislature set a numeric limit the following year because the alternative was no speed limit at all.

It still states "food enveloped in a food", which disqualifies open-faced sandwiches and pizza, but includes calzones and possibly sushi (at least rolls). Hmm.

Surely it should be 'enveloped in large sections of carbohydrates" so sushi wouldn't count, and neither does a breaded schnitzel.

You'd have to put a limit on fat content of the outside to eliminate pies.
