According to the annual Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report released on Tuesday Salt Lake City drivers are worse than average.
Last year, the report said that Salt Lake City drivers equaled the national average of a typical driver having an accident once about every 10 years. But the new report now says Salt Lakers now have an accident on average every 9.7 years, some 3.4 percent more frequently than average.
However, Salt Lake City is still ranked as the 67th safest among America’s 200 largest cities for car-collision frequency, although that is four places lower than last year.
West Valley City was combined with Salt Lake City in last year’s report, but this year has its own ranking at number 80, with accidents occurring 6% more frequently than the average.
Ryan Larson, an Allstate agency said the report challenged drivers in Salt Lake City to make positive changes to their driving.
Fort Collins, Colorado has the honor of being the nation’s safest driving city for the fourth time in 10 years whereas the worst drivers were in Worcester, Mass.
