According to the website 24/7 Wall St., the worst city to drive in the state of Florida is Ocala.

Here are some of the reasons that Ocala is considered a driving nightmare:

Florida: Ocala
> Traffic fatalities per 100,000 people: 25.4 (state: 14.8)
> Avg. commute time: 25.4 min. (state: 27.8 min.)
> Commuters driving to work: 90.0% (state: 88.4%)
> 2017 car thefts per 100,000 people: 224.6
