On average, nationally, drivers are likely to get in a car accident every 10 years.
Winter Park, FL (PRWEB) September 12, 2013
For Florida residents, getting behind the wheel might feel a bit unsafe, according to a new report by Allstate Insurance. On August 28, the company released a report with the safest and most unsafe states for driving. Unfortunately for many residents in Florida, they are far more likely to be unsafe than the national average.
Cities were ranked by car collision frequency. Based on this data, Allstate was able to list the safest driving city – Fort Collins, Colorado. On average, nationally, drivers are likely to get in a car accident every 10 years. For Floridians, drivers in Tampa are ranked as some of the worst – with most drivers getting into an accident every 7 years – but Tampa is not the only Florida city that made the list. Those 10 Florida cities are:
1. Cape Coral
2. Port Saint Lucie
3. Tallahassee
4. Jacksonville
5. Saint Petersburg
6. Orland
7. Hollywood
8. Tampa
9. Miami
10. Hialeah
At ISU Jallad Insurance Services, the local agents do not want any drivers in Florida involved in a motor vehicle accident.
Here are some safe driving tips they recommend:
- Avoid all distractions on the road – this includes the radio, GPS and cell phones
- Practice defensive driving – there are courses offered that can help with this, and often, drivers who take these courses can earn a discount on their auto insurance policy
- Always obey posted speed limits and rules of the road
- Be sure to check on important car maintenance issues regularly to be sure the vehicle operates properly and safely
- Keep an emergency car kit in the vehicle in case of accident, disaster or stall
- Always wear a seatbelt
- Avoid road rage and aggressive driving behaviors that can lead to accidents
