QuoteWizard analyzed NHTSA FARS data on fatal car crashes by time of day. We looked at the total number of fatal car crashes from 2013 to 2017 that occurred during brunch hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. To get rankings, we compared the total number of fatal crashes with the total number of alcohol-impaired fatal crashes to see which states had the highest rate of alcohol-impaired fatal car crashes during the brunch hours. Rankings are from 1st, the highest rate of alcohol-impaired crashes, to 50th, lowest rate of alcohol-impaired crashes.

States Ranked by Highest Number of Fatal Crashes During Brunch Hours

Methodology
QuoteWizard analyzed data from the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System of e-cigarette users in all 50 states. We took the crude prevalence of current e-cigarette users in each state and ranked all 50 states from the highest crude prevalence to the lowest crude prevalence. States with the highest crude prevalence are considered to have the highest rate of e-cigarette users and are therefore most likely to be affected by e-cigarettes in terms of their health insurance premiums.
