America's Best Drivers Report
If you live in Fort Collins, Colorado, congratulations, your city is the safest driving city in the nation, according to Allstate. In its seventh-annual Allstate America's Best Drivers Report, the company determined that Fort Collins residents can expect to be in a collision once every 14 years. That's 28.6 percent better than the national average of once every 10 years.
This is the second year running that Fort Collins has made the top spot, an honor city officials say is thanks to their residents' care on the roads. Allstate started the survey to increase awareness of road safety, the company said.
