Pennsylvania, Delaware drivers ranked among best-behaved in the country

Pennsylvania and Delaware drivers were ranked among the top-10 best-behaved drivers in the country, while New Jersey drivers have to clean up their act.

Forbes Advisor published their findings last month, analyzing 19 "bad" driving behaviors to determine how common they were in certain states.

The behaviors included running a red light, eating while driving and texting behind the wheel. Other behaviors were changing lanes without signaling, cutting other drivers off and "honking/cursing/gesturing at another driver in anger."

Pennsylvania had the third best-behaved drivers, while Delaware ranked eighth best-behaved. New Jersey drivers fell in the middle of the pack, coming in at number 18 on the best-to-worst-behaved list.
