Many people consider Hawaii to be paradise. Those people must not be drivers. The Aloha State places dead last in WalletHub's list of America's best states for driving. The website came by its rankings by looking at "23 key indicators of a positive commute." Those indicators include gas prices, traffic jams (11 of the world's 25 worst cities for congestion are in the US), road quality (the US places only 13th in the world in this category), and more. Here are the 10 best and 10 worst states for driving in the US:

  1. Texas
  2. Kansas
  3. Nebraska
  4. Iowa
  5. North Carolina
