Yesterday we told you about the best drivers in America, based on the seventh annual Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report, and we all learned that small-city drivers are generally less likely to be involved in collisions than those from large urban areas. But that, of course, begs the question: Which big cities with 1 million or more inhabitants have the least-safe drivers in America? Well, we at Driving Today live our lives to answer just such questions, so here it goes:
Counting down from the city with the ninth worst drivers to the No. 1 worst of the worst, we have:
- Phoenix (whose drivers are just slightly more likely to get into a collision than the national average)
- San Diego
- San Antonio
- Houston
- Chicago
- Dallas
- New York City
- Los Angeles
- Philadelphia
Again, according to the experts at Allstate, it is driver behavior that can make a big difference. So as a driver, make sure you keep proper distance and avoid road rage. If the weather conditions are inclement, pay special attention to the road surface and other drivers.
