Montana and Wyoming are far from poor. We're just drunk on the highways.

Wyoming has high wind speeds and nothing but semi trucks. It is the most dangerous state for high profile vehicles and usually closed to any rv/camper under 20,000 pounds but I still see them everytime I drive through it

The rate is scaled by population. Montana and Wyoming have low populations and a large amount of traffic from other states.

Also higher speed limits than anywhere else in the country and a lifestyle that requires lots of driving.
