Montana driving

Montana just ranked as one of the most dangerous states to drive this Labor Day weekend. See what makes our roads so risky and how to stay safe.

Montana once had no speed limit—yup! We took on the Feds and told 'em to kick rocks. Want to know how that wild ride ended? Buckle up!

We've all been there. Driving down one of Montana's interstates or highways in poor conditions with snow flying, poor visibility and icy roadways. Like a bolt of greased lightning to our left along comes another car or truck passing you too closely, sending snow flying everywhere along with a string of expletives. Many times we see the same car a few miles down the road in the ditch, or worse, in a serious accident. Many times these cars are sporting out-of-state license plates, usually from a warmer climate. While we can't magically make these guests of ours better or smarter drivers, there are a few things we can do as Montana drivers to make it a little safer for everyone.
