Cites With the Best and Worst Drivers

Think the motorists where you live are bad drivers? Try moving to Boston, where they’re 157.7 percent more likely than the norm to cause a wreck. That’s according to Allstate Insurance in Northbrook, Illinois, and its annual Best Drivers Report. On the other hand, if you want to stay safe, move to America’s heartland. Kansas City leads the report, with motorists that are 24.8 percent less likely than average to incite a collision. The rest of the five safest havens for motorists are the equally bucolic Brownsville, Texas (24.6 percent less likely than average to cause a crash), Boise, Idaho (-23.5 percent), Fort Collins, Colorado (-21.1 percent) and Cape Coral, Florida (-21.0 percent). But take extra precautions if you’re driving in the Northeast, specifically Worcester, Massachusetts, where the drivers are 120.7 percent more likely to cause a collision, followed by Baltimore, Maryland (+113.9 percent), Washington, D.C. (+106.3 percent) and Springfield, Massachusetts (+93.1 percent).
