Safe Driving Tips from Allstate's Best Driver Report
The fifth annual “Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report” reveals a vast amount of information regarding America’s 200 largest cities and their collision frequency to determine which cities have the safest drivers. According to an article, the news isn’t great for Illinois. One of the Allstate data sections related to cities with more than one million residents, which included Chicago, Illinois. The report stated that drivers are more likely than the national average to experience a collision in U.S. cities with a population above one million. Chicago was listed as 170th in this category, making drivers 37.6% more likely to be in a collision compared to the national average. Phoenix ranked highest in this category as the safest large city for commuters.
Senior vice president of Allstate’s Claim Organization reasons that human error is the biggest cause of accidents throughout the nation and that it is “vital for us to educate drivers across the country on the importance of being tolerant and attentive behind the wheel.” As personal injury attorneys who handle auto accident cases in Illinois and Missouri, we couldn’t agree more.
In the report, Allstate offered safe driving tips for drivers to consider. These tips range from increasing awareness of road conditions that require slower driving and/or additional caution, to minimizing distractions such as cell phone use, text messaging, fiddling with attempting to play CDs, or tune the radio. Allstate also reminds us to keep up-to-date on the maintenance of our vehicles to ensure that auto brakes, tires, and lights are all functioning properly.
The aftermath of a serious car accident can sometimes result in catastrophic injuries that take years, if not a lifetime, to heal from, and you may have to adjust your entire lifestyle as a way of coping with your newly inflicted injuries.
