10 Most Dangerous Cities for Driving

Just as Fort Collins, Colo., repeated as the nation’s safest driving city, according to Allstate’s seventh annual “America’s Best Driver’s Report, Baltimore also repeated as the nation’s least safest driving city.

In fact, the eight most dangerous cities to drive in are the same as a year ago. The order is the same as well, with one exception: Hartford, Conn., managed to escape the bottom five, squeezing ahead of Providence, R.I., and Philadelphia.

The report ranks America's 192 largest cities in terms of car collision frequency to identify which cities have the safest drivers, according to Allstate claims data. Collision numbers dictate rating cities based on the likelihood of an accident when compared to the national average.

Baltimore drivers are 88.7 percent more likely to suffer an accident than the national average, with drivers suffering a collision every 5.3 years compared to a national average of just less than 10 years. Drivers in Glendale, Calif., and Newark, N.J., are 80.8 percent and 70.8 percent, respectively, more likely to suffer collisions than the national average. Philadelphia continues to be the only city in the bottom 10 with a population over 1 million.

Below are the 10 least safe cities for driving according to Allstate’s data:

192. Baltimore

191. Glendale, Calif.

190. Newark, N.J.

189. Providence, R.I.

188. Philadelphia

187. Hartford, Conn.

186. Jersey City, N.J.

185. San Francisco

184. Alexandria, Va.

183. Hialeah, Fla.
