New Report Says Baltimore Has Some of America’s Worst Drivers - Page 2
Baltimore has been named one of the most collision-prone cities in the country, according to Allstate’s 2026 America’s Best Drivers Report.
The annual report ranked Baltimore No. 3 among the riskiest U.S. cities for drivers, behind only Boston and Washington, D.C. Other cities rounding out the five most collision-prone locations were Worcester and Springfield, Massachusetts.
The ranking means Baltimore drivers experience collisions more frequently than motorists in most of the 200 cities included in the study. Philadelphia was also among the bottom 10, highlighting a broader pattern of increased collision risk across major cities in the Northeast.
Allstate based the rankings on property damage claims data, measuring the average number of years drivers in each city go between collisions. The report also examined driving habits such as speeding, hard braking, nighttime driving and phone use behind the wheel.
“Where you drive plays a role in your risk, but how and when you drive matters just as much,” Laura Hoffman, Allstate’s vice president of auto design and telematics, said.
The report found that distracted driving and nighttime travel are especially common in dense metropolitan areas. Washington, D.C., Boston, Miami and Chicago were among the cities with the highest levels of phone use while driving.
