Where 5 GA Cities Rank On New Best Drivers Report

GEORGIA — Atlanta is among the most risky cities in the United States for drivers, according to a new report released by insurance company Allstate.

First launched in 2005, this year's Allstate America's Best Drivers Report determined the likelihood that drivers in America's 200 most populous cities will experience a car collision compared to the national average.

The report was compiled using property and collision damage claims reported from January 2022 to December 2023.

In this year's report, Atlanta ranked as the 12th riskiest city for drivers. According to the report, Atlanta drivers are 67 percent more likely to be in a car collision than the national average.

Savannah also fell into the risky category at No. 43. Meanwhile, the safest cities for drivers included Columbus (No. 58), Augusta (No. 85) and Macon (No. 89).

"No matter where you drive, the best way to protect yourself and others is simple: buckle up, stay focused and slow down," said Sandee Lindorfer, vice president of auto claims at Allstate. "These are three of the most effective ways to prevent crashes, and they cost nothing but attention."
