🚗 Texas Dominates Safest Driving Cities While Boston Takes Riskiest Spot, New Allstate Report Reveals

In a striking look at driving safety across the U.S., Allstate’s latest annual report ranks the safest and riskiest cities for drivers in the U.S., and Texas takes a clear victory lap.

The insurance giant’s 17th annual “Best Drivers Report” analyzed collision claims across a two-year period (2022–2023) and compared them to 2015 rankings. While Texas led with four cities in the top 20, Boston, Massachusetts, was crowned America’s most collision-prone city.

“Allstate’s goal is education, not pricing,” said Sandee Lindorfer, vice president of auto claims. “We hope to inspire better habits behind the wheel.”
