Top 10 Safest and Worst Cities to Drive in the United States



In the latest Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report Los Angeles did not show up in the top 10 list of cities with worst drivers. The city placed 182nd in the tally of cities with best drivers – not a perfect spot but still better than being on the top list of cities with unsafe and irresponsible motorists.

The list named the following cities as places with highest rate for road accidents due to unsafe drivers:

1.    Washington DC – 112 percent chance of accident versus national average
2.    Baltimore – 88 percent chance of accident versus national average
3.    Providence, R.I. – 81 percent chance of accident versus national average
4.    Hialeah, Fla. – 78 percent chance of accident versus national average
5.    Glendale, Calif. – 76 percent chance of accident versus national average
6.    Philadelphia – 64 percent chance of accident versus national average
7.    Alexandria, Va. – 63 percent chance of accident versus national average
8.    Newark, N.J. – 59 percent chance of accident versus national average
9.    Miami – 58 percent chance of accident versus national average
10.    San Francisco – 55 percent chance of accident versus national average

Los Angeles City recorded at least 48 percent chance of accident versus national average.

The report listed the following cities as the safest in terms of traffic accidents:

1. Sioux Falls, S.D. – 27.6 percent less likely to have traffic accidents
2. Boise, Idaho – 27.3 percent less likely to have traffic accidents
3. Fort Collins, Colo. – 26.7 percent less likely to have traffic accidents
4. Madison, Wisc. – 23.0 percent less likely to have traffic accidents
5. Lincoln, Neb. – 19.3 percent less likely to have traffic accidents
6. Huntsville, Ala. – 19.1 percent less likely to have traffic accidents
7. Chandler, Ariz. – 18.9 percent less likely to have traffic accidents
8. Reno, Nev. – 18.4 percent less likely to have traffic accidents
9. Knoxville, Tenn. – 18.1 percent less likely to have traffic accidents
10. Springfield, Mo – 17.4 percent less likely to have traffic accidents

Even though Los Angeles is not on the top list of cities with high chances of traffic accidents, Los Angeles drivers, riders, passengers, and pedestrians should not underestimate the dangers of the road. Los Angeles car accident attorneys always remind motorists to mind their actions while on the road to make sure that they are not inching their way towards accident and possible lawsuits.
