Bay Area Drivers Rank Amongst Nation’s Worst Reports Says

Yesterday Allstate Insurance Company released its eighth annual “Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report™.” The findings in the report are based on Allstate claims and used the frequency of car collisions to rank nearly two hundred cities to discover America’s safest driving city. This year’s top honors went to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. If you drive in that city you are likely to be involved in an auto collision every 13.8 years, which is 27.6% less likely than the national average of 10 years. How do Bay Area drivers compare? Check out below for a comparison of the bay area cities included in the report:
