Allstate's 14th annual America's Best Drivers Report identifies which of the 200 largest U.S. cities and their surrounding suburban metropolitan areas have the safest drivers. Researchers compile the list based on collision frequency. The annual report aims to provoke a conversation about safe driving, and celebrate the cities that are the safest. The average driver in America will experience a collision approximately once every 10 years, according to Allstate claims data. In top-ranked Brownsville, that figure improves by about 26% to once every 13.6 years. Other highlights from the 2018 report include Miami as the most improved driving city, advancing by 37 spots on the report. In contrast, Spokane, Washington, dropped 37 spots from last year's rankings, following a 12-spot drop in 2016's report. Check out this year's top 15 U.S. cities with the best drivers in the slideshow below. Related: 10 school zone driving safety tips for back-to-school season
