Driver safety can include everything from driving distraction free to properly maintaining your vehicle in order to avoid a TN traffic accident. However, driver safety may also include knowing which cities to be particularly cautious in, and according to Allstate Insurance’s annual “Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report,” the worst drivers in Tennessee can be found in the musical city of Memphis. The insurance powerhouse uses claims data to rank America’s 200 largest cities in terms of residents’ car collision frequency, and the data is based solely on Allstate customers.
Based on this annual report, TN motorists are more likely to get into a car accident in Memphis than in any other part of the Volunteer State. In Memphis, the average driver is involved in a crash about once every ten years, which is close to the national average of once every twelve years. The study found that the Tennessee city with the safest drivers is Knoxville.
Overall, Allstate determined that Washington, D.C. is the most dangerous city to hit the open road in, and a driver is 100 times more likely to get into an auto accident in our nation’s capital. For premium driver safety, Sioux Falls in South Dakota was recognized for its safe drivers.
Though certain U.S. cities may have a reputation for its safe drivers, an auto accident can, unfortunately, happen anywhere, any time a driver chooses to drive carelessly and endanger the safety of others.
