Allstate ranks Boise's drivers 5th best in nation

Posted

According to Allstate's 2016 Best Drivers Report, Boise's drivers are some of the best in the nation.

The report is based on a number of factors including average years between collisions and the likelihood you'll be in a collision compared to the national average.

The 10 best cities on the list: Brownsville, Texas; Kansas City; Madison, Wisconsin; Cape Coral, Florida; Boise, Idaho; Huntsville, Alabama; Port Saint Lucie, Florida; Wichita, Kansas; Olathe, Kansas; and Reno, Nevada. 

The 10 worst cities on the list: San Francisco; Philadelphia; Los Angeles; Providence; Glendale, California; Springfield, Massachusetts; Washington, D.C.; Baltimore; Worcester, Massachusetts; and Boston. 

Six on Your Side spoke to drivers in Boise who say, for the most part, they agree with the report's findings.

"Driving in Boise has always been a good experience, except for the amount of traffic," Bruce Green, a visitor from Santa Barbara, California, said. "Drivers are courteous; I've never had a problem with that. It's just the amount of traffic."

"We could probably use our turn signals a little more," Boise resident Nicholas Bloom said. "But, all-in-all, I do think we have some of the best drivers."

Boise has fallen in the rankings since 2015 when they were listed as number 3 in the same report.
