Texas – Driving without a license
Oklahoma – Car shooting
Florida – Driving while high
Mississippi – Drag racing
Pennsylvania – Running a red light
New York – Rental car accident
Arizona – Tire Blowout
It’s no surprise that tire blowout was more commonly searched in one of the warmest states in the US. Summer days in Arizona can hover in the 100°-105° range. When temperatures climb to such levels for an extended period of time, the temperature of the roads can become far hotter than the temperature of the air. High-speed driving, excessive braking, and cornering can all heat tires up to a point where blowout is more likely to occur.
Tire blowouts are dangerous for any driver, but they are an even greater cause for concern for trucks. A truck tire blowout can cause the truck to rollover, which can lead to serious and fatal injuries for drivers in the vicinity. Drivers should routinely monitor tire pressure to prevent a blowout from occurring.
The firm wants to emphasize that just because residents of particular states aren't searching for certain topics with the same volume doesn't mean a topic isn't important for that particular state. Most topics (with the exception of a few) revolve around issues that exist in every state.
"This study was meant to be fun and thought-provoking, but there is also a very serious undertone. We hope this study ignites more national conversations on various road habits and policies," remarked Managing Partner, Travis Patterson. "A majority of vehicle collisions that occur each year are preventable and it's important we keep prevention top of mind to continue to improve road safety for everyone."
