For many of us the summer holidays mean traveling by car across cities and states to meet up with relatives or loved ones for festivities and fun. But with all those cars on the road traveling can be dangerous, with some places ending up more dangerous than others. Wonder if your plans will take you over any of the most dangerous roads this summer? According to elliot.org 57% of all traffic deaths happen on rural roads, and 75% of all public roads in the U.S. are considered rural. So the odds are you'll be doing some rural driving whether you like or not, and according to The Center for Excellence in Rural Safety here are the top 10 most dangerous places to drive:

• Maine
• North Dakota
• South Dakota
• Iowa
• Vermont
  
• Montana
• Wyoming
• South Carolina
• Mississippi
• Arkansas

Obviously many of these states probably landed on the list because they have more rural area than other states, but you may still find yourself passing through. Something to think about, and remember your seat belts!
