DAPHNE, Ala. — The Fourth of July is one of the busiest traffic days of the year and nothing can ruin a vacation more quickly than a traffic ticket; so it’s best to drive safely.

Most likely to hand out a traffic ticket is Florida, followed closely by Georgia and Nevada.

Montana is least likely to give traffic tickets.
