A report by Allstate released earlier this year lists the nation's top 200 safe driver cities. We're proud to say that 22 towns right here in Texas made the cut!
Allstate's report used the average time between insurance claims to make its judgments. In Brownsville, the average time between claims is just under 15 years, about 4.5 years longer than the national average.
Next up for Texas' safest driving cities, Amarillo comes in at #20. Here, 11.5 years also separate insurance claims, which approaches the national average of 10.5.
You might be wondering why we Texans are so skilled behind the wheel. Maybe it’s because we’ve learned to drive on so many different times of terrain, from winding mountain roads to sandy beachside highways. Whatever the reason, let’s just be proud of this little victory!
