Driving, of course, is a big part of life in Montana, including for older drivers looking to maintain their independence. However, with a vast state and great distances between towns, it’s not surprising that Montana ranks #8 in the nation for vehicle miles traveled per-capita, according to data from the Federal Highway Administration and the Census Bureau. Additionally, Montana ranks #1 in the nation for the most dangerous state for drivers, with a higher-than-average number of fatal accidents and deaths per capita, according to Forbes.
