Fort Collins Drivers Safest in Nation: Allstate Report

For the fourth year in the report’s history, the top honor of “America’s Safest Driving City” is Fort Collins, Colo., according to Allstate Insurance Co.’s tenth annual “Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report.”

Fort Collins has placed in the top 10 every year since the report’s inception. This year, the results indicate the average driver in Fort Collins will experience an auto collision every 14.2 years, which is 29.6 percent less likely than the national average of every 10 years

The report, based on Allstate claims data, ranks America’s 200 largest cities in terms of car collision frequency to identify which cities have the safest drivers.

This year, new data uncovers how these cities rank when factors like population, population density and precipitation are considered.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 33,500 car crash fatalities occurred in 2012. Additionally, Allstate research found that 70 percent of vehicles involved in auto claims are considered drivable, which indicates that most claims are the result of low speed (under 35 miles per hour) collisions.
