How the Rankings Were Established<\/h2>\n

The speeding study, which was conducted by insurance quote aggregator Insurify based on form submission data, looked at the number of applicants from each state that admitted to having a speeding ticket on their record. In total, the data set came from 1.3 million verified applicants.<\/p>\n

Applicants were asked whether they have had a speeding violation ticket within the last 7 years. The number of entrants that said \u201cyes\u201d was then compared to the overall number of applicants from their state of residence.<\/p>\n

Using this data, Insurify identified South Carolina as the #3 state when it comes to its rate of drivers with a history of one or more speeding violations. In total, 22.7% of South Carolina applicants admit that they had received a speeding ticket in the last 7 years.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the report also notes that South Carolina has over 12,400 full-time police officers and highway patrol officers in the state. That\u2019s 2.64 officers for every 1,000 residents, meaning South Carolina has the most policed roadways of any state in the U.S. Perhaps that\u2019s why so many people got caught speeding!<\/p>\n
