Where are the Best and Worst Drivers?
[Drivers Drive: An Automotive Blog With Car News and Resources] Allstate Insurance Company has released the findings from their study about which U.S. cities have the best and worst drivers. Allstate researchers analyzed internal data to determine the likelihood drivers in America's largest 196 cities (cities with over 100,000 residents) would experience an auto collision compared to the national average. The study found that drivers in Cedar Rapids, Iowa were the least likely to have a crash.

[PrairyChick's Henhouse] Helicopters in the neighborhood and bra suicide: If you watched Good Morning America (GMA) this morning, they were talking about Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and how Allstate insurance has designated our fair city as having the safest drivers in America. So they were giving away free gas (up to 10 gallons per person) at one of our gas stations.
[Driversdrive.com] Drivers Drive: An Automotive Blog With Car News and Resources: Global positioning satellites and sensors on your car would keep tabs on exactly where and how far you travel. Privacy advocates say tracking drivers would be like big brother sitting in the back seat of your car, keeping tabs on everywhere you go. Others say it's a disincentive for people to buy hybrids and other more fuel efficient vehicles because any current tax savings would be eliminated." People who drive all day because of their work and people with long commutes (common in California) could also be negatively impacted by a change from a gallon gas tax to a mileage tax.

[Kcal9.com] KCAL 9: Iowa City Has Nation's Safest Drivers: With a population of 122,500, Cedar Rapids is among the smallest of the cities surveyed by Allstate. But the report’s findings also mirror results of an earlier study by GMAC Insurance Group that rated Iowa drivers high in knowledge about traffic rules and safety, putting the state third in the nation.
