DENVER (KDVR) — While Colorado drivers rank in the bottom half of drivers in other states, they aren’t the worst in the United States.

A new study by Forbes shows that Colorado actually ranks number 19 when it comes to worst drivers across the country.

The study compared all states on six metrics:

  • Number of drunk drivers involved in fatal car accidents per 100,000 licensed drivers
  • Number of fatal car accidents involving a distracted driver per 100,000 licensed drivers
  • Number of fatal car accidents involving a drowsy driver per 100,000 licensed drivers
  • Number of fatal car accidents involving a driver who was driving the wrong way on a one-way street or on the wrong side of the road per 100,000 licensed drivers
  • Number of fatal car accidents involving a driver who failed to obey traffic signs, traffic signals or a traffic officer per 100,000 licensed drivers
  • Number of drivers who looked at a phone per mile
