4 Colorado Cities Among Nation's Safest in Terms of Driving

Allstate's "America's Best Drivers Report" is Good News for Coloradans

Of America's 200 largest cities, Fort Collins ranks third overall behind only Boise, Idaho and Sioux Falls, SD, in terms of accident rates compared to a national average. 

Colorado Springs, Denver, and Aurora all were listed within the top 60, showing a positive trend of Colorado drivers.

The study, conducted by Allstate insurance with the goal of sparking conversation nationwide regarding safe driving, has consistently ranked Fort Collins in the top 10 safest driving cities in their annual report.

"Allstate's Best Driver's Report was created to boost the country's discussion on safe driving. Each year we hope the report will increase awareness about the importance of being tolerant and attentive behind the wheel," said Mike Roche, senior vice president of claims at Allstate

Colorado Springs was ranked at number 23, while Denver and Aurora came in at 55 and 54 respectively.

The Allstate study aims to quantify how frequently drivers in specific cities are involved in car accidents. Using its claims information, the study computes an average number of years between accidents for an average driver in a specific city. 

Fort Collins' ranking as the third safest city to drive in coincides with a 13.6 year gap between accidents for the average driver, 27.6% less likely than the nationwide average.

The least safe city for driving was Washington D.C., which has reluctantly held that spot for 4 consecutive years.
