 8. Wyoming: 0.02%
 7. South Carolina: -0.35%
 6. Mississippi: -1.29%

 4. Alaska: -2.57%
 3. Louisiana: -2.76%
 2. North Dakota: -4.57%
 1. New Mexico: -5.89%

And here's bad news for all you youngbloods out there:

Those age 65 and older expected to make up a quarter of all drivers by 2025,  according to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety,
I don't care how old they are as long as they stay off their f'kn smartphones!

Looks like Georgia is one of the 57 states not on the list... Thanks, Obama!  ;)
Numbers don't lie but liars use numbers.   Texas kills more elderly drivers than any other state and we did not make the top 10 because of the way they use the numbers where as most just base states on the total killed. 
There are also different classifications for "older drivers" but the most accepted is 70 not 65.

The Fatality Rate for those between 70 and 80 is lower than those under 30 but when they hit 80 they really need to quit driving!
Enjoyed driving through Texas to be regularly reminded that 1545 had been killed on Texas highways in 2016
Once again Texas Is Number One!  We kill about 3,500/year.
