Drivers in New Jersey are the ones who really need to watch out, according to the motorists group. The state ranked the worst based on 17 factors, including:

Speed limits.
The use of red-light or speed cameras.
Laws banning cell phone use while driving.
Whether speeders are allowed jury trials.
The number of speed traps (weighted by population).

New Jersey ranked seventh-worst in the speed-trap category. But it was the state's traffic laws that put New Jersey atop the list.

New Jersey lost points for using roadblocks, denying speeders jury trials and capping the highway speed limit at 65 mph, according to the motorists group. More than half of U.S. states have maximum highway speed limits of 70 mph or higher. In fairness to New Jersey, though, states that are more densely populated tend to have lower speed limits. Rhode Island and Massachusetts, the two most densely populated states after New Jersey, also have statewide 65 mph limits on their freeways.

"We think that cities are basically using some speeding laws to make money and they are not improving safety at all," says Aaron Quinn, a spokesman for the motorists group.

Thats retarded. Who gets jury trials for speeding tickets? Do any east coast highways have speed limits higher than 65mph? Lots of states have cell phone laws. Everybody has speed traps. And screw red light cameras, it beats speeding cameras on highways.

West Virginia has a few highways that are 70 mph speed limit which you can absolutely fly on.
