However, according to a new study, Orlando isn’t home to the worst of them. In fact, Orlando ranks third for the best drivers in the U.S.
In the study, insurance comparision website QuoteWizard examined 75 major cities and listed the best and worst.
Researchers used four key factors—accidents, speeding tickets, DUIs and citations—to determine the rankings.
“Despite droves of theme-park addicted tourists, the numbers show that people in Orlando know how to drive,” according to the study. “Perhaps the notorious ‘Florida Man’ avoids Orlando’s roadways, because they’re QuoteWizard’s third best driving city. Surprised? So are we.”
So which city has the best drivers? That would be Detroit at No. 1, followed by Providence, Rhode Island.
Miami was the only other Florida city to rank in the top 10 for best drivers, coming in at No. 4 after Orlando. Tampa ranked No. 26.
As for the city with the worst drivers, that title belongs to Sacramento, California’s capital city.
