The Allstate Insurance Company today released its ninth annual “Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report®.” 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.

In the 2013 report, Honolulu ranks as one of the least safe driving cities, landing at number 128 on the list. According to the report, the average driver in Honolulu will experience an auto collision every 8.7 years, which is about 15 percent more likely than the national average.

“We don’t want drivers in Honolulu to be discouraged by their ranking. Instead, we want the report to challenge drivers in Honolulu to make positive changes to their driving habits that will in turn make the city a safer place to live, work and raise families,” said Shauna McBride, Allstate’s Regional Spokesperson.

The Allstate America’s Best Driver’s Report was created to facilitate an ongoing dialogue on safe driving that saves lives. This year’s top honor of “America’s Safest Driving City” is Fort Collins, Colorado, the third year the city has held the top spot in the report’s nine-year history. …
