Allstate Insurance has compiled a report on the likelihood of motorists being in a collision in cities with over 100,000 people. The top ten “safest” cities:
(1) Cedar Rapids, IA
(2) Sioux Falls, SD
(3) Chattanooga, TN
(4) Huntsville, AL
(5) Knoxville, TN
(6) Des Moines, IA
(7) Topeka, KS
(8) Lakewood, CO
(9) Fort Collins, CO
(10) Birmingham, Ala.
Knoxvillians are 23% less likely to be involved in an accident than the average motorist. Makes me wonder what an unsafe city is like.
Imagine that–we have accomplished this without a single red light traffic camera! Don’t anyone tell the city traffic gurus.
Must be all that pollution slowing people down 🙂
Just drive, walk or ride your bicycle around metro Atlanta for a while, and you’ll find out what an unsafe city is! I think it’s one of the worst places for pedestrians.
This looks great but there is one little catch. Comparing Allstate’s commercials with personal experience as a former customer, I’m not sure I would put much stock in their stats. If K-town is a great place to drive, God help all those other folks.
