Allstate report: Fort Collins drivers are best in country, D.C. drivers are worsthttp://www.insurancequotes.com/best-and-worst-drivers/
For the second consecutive year, Fort Collins, Colo., has taken the crown as “America’s Safest Driving City.” Meanwhile, Washington, D.C., ranks as the least safe city for drivers — also for the second consecutive year.
According to the seventh annual Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report, the average driver in Fort Collins will experience a car crash every 14 years, which is 28.6 percent below the national average of 10 years. In Washington, D.C., the average driver will be in a car crash every 4.8 years, which is 107.3 percent above the national average.
“For the second year in a row, we’ve earned the title of the safest driving city in America due to the responsible behavior and safe driving habits of our residents,” Fort Collins Mayor Karen Weitkunat says in an Allstate news release.
Based on Allstate claims data, the report ranks the country’s 200 largest cities in terms of car-crash frequency to identify which cities have the safest drivers.
