Allstate: Boise Has 2nd Safest Drivers

Boise ranked ahead of 198 cities in a report on cities with the best drivers. The Allstate Insurance Co.’s report examined how often drivers using its insurance in the 200 largest cities in the nation get into vehicle wrecks. The average driver in Boise is in an auto accident every 13.9 years, the study found. That’s 28 percent better than the national average of 10 years. Fort Collins, Colo. squeaked out a narrow victory for the top spot: the town’s likelihood of collision is 28.2 percent better than national rates. After Boise, the nation’s safest drivers live in Sioux Falls, S.D.; Brownsville, Texas; Madison, Wis.; Reno, Nev.; Huntsville, Ala.; Visalia, Calif.; Montgomery, Ala.; and Eugene, Ore./Idaho Statesman.
