How Safe Is Your Drive? Omaha, Lincoln & Des Moines Make the List! đŠ
Accidents happenâbut some cities are way more crash-prone than others. Allstate just dropped its 2025 âAmericaâs Best Drivers Report,â and letâs just say⊠some places need a serious driving refresher course. đŹ
The report looks at how often drivers in the 200 biggest U.S. cities get into accidents. The national average? One crash every 10.5 years. But in Boston? Yikes. Drivers there are nearly 3.5 times more likely to get into a fender bender. Itâs officially the riskiest city to drive in (again). The Northeast in general? Not winning any safe-driving awards.
On the flip side, Texas is crushing it with four cities in the top 20 safest. Brownsville, TX takes the crown as the safest city to drive in. đđ
