The national average is 1.421 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. The individual states report rates from 0.785 (MA - ranked #1) to 2.364 (MT - ranked #50). Tennessee's actual number is 1.829, putting us in 37th place. Hope that helps shed a little light on the numbers. I actually originally thought it was ranked highest to lowest, but after a little digging I found the breakdown. @Kelliente – We’re basically 13th highest, or 37th lowest.

Like, we're ranked low because we have a lot of fatalities and that's bad, so we're 37th? Or we're ranked low because we have a LOW rate of fatalities?
