Tuesday, Dec. 23, declared most dangerous day to drive

Dec 19, 2025, 8:33 AM | Updated: 3:49 pm

According to a report put out by Nationwide Insurance, December 23, is the most dangerous day of the year to drive. The reason is simple: distracted, rushed drivers attempting to get last-minute things done for Christmas, or traveling to see friends and relatives.

Some states are worse than others when it comes to driving. The naughty driver list includes New York, California, New Jersey, Nevada and a few others, while the nice driver list has Minnesota, Tennessee, Kansas, North Carolina and a few others. Colorado, as with many things, is pretty much in the middle, a little naughty, a little nice. Drive safe this holiday season.
