Drivers in Fort Collins, Colorado are the least likely in the nation to get into a car accident. For their yearly Best Drivers Report, Allstate auto insurance ranked the biggest 200 cities in the United States to see how often drivers get into car crashes. Online Auto Insurance News’ Gregor McGavin wrote about the results in “Insurer Ranks Major US Cities By Drivers’ Odds of Crashing.” Fort Collins drivers only get in an accident once every fourteen years, which is significantly less than the national average of every ten years. Drivers in Washington D.C. double the frequency of the national average getting in accidents once every five years, the highest frequency in the U.S.
An Allstate spokesperson says that they perform this study to get people talking about car crashes and safety on the roads. Finding cheap car insurance just might be easier if you live in one of the cities rounding out the top ten least likely to have a car accident. Following Fort Collins are Boise, Idaho; Lincoln, Nebraska; Chandler, Arizona; Huntsville, Alabama; Knoxville, Tennessee; Springfield, Missouri; Reno, Nevada; Eugene, Oregon; and Chattanooga, Tennessee. The frequency of crashes and the number of people getting hurt in crashes has been going down year to year. Even so, safety experts hope to decrease that number even further, especially when it comes to fatalities. It can also be hard finding cheap car insurance from Allstate or any other insurer after even one accident.
