Which State Has The Best Drivers?

It's easy to say which state has the worst drivers (it's the state you live in, no matter where you are), but which one has the best?

It's a question that ghost650 asked when we saw that Utah upped some of its rural speed limits to 80 mph.

I was coincidentally just recounting a recent drive through Utah wherein my usual 75 MPH cruising speed found me firmly stuck in the slow lane as I hadn't the need to pass anyone. After several miles I realized why I was on the slow end of the flow of traffic: 80 mph speed limit!? As a bonus, almost everyone was observing the mythical "keep right unless overtaking" rule. It was by far the best experience I had on a highway during this past summer roadtrip.

That makes me wonder - what state have you driven through with the most well-behaved drivers?
