Our nation's capital, Washington DC, has been ranked The Worst Driving City in the US by Jalopnik. Apparently residents of DC are twice as likely to get into accidents as the rest of the nation. "There are so many possible reasons - the city's cross-hatch street layout, its population of drivers with diplomatic immunity, tour-bus related congestion - that it's hard to assign blame, exactly the kind of problem Washington excels in creating." commented Jalopnik.

The rankings were taken from Allstate's data, which insures 10% of US drivers. Jalopnik sorted through the data to compile the list and found which cities had the highest rates of accidents, and therefore were the Worst Driving Cities.  

The College Driver would definitely like to hear our readers thoughts on this list. Do you agree or disagree? What cities should be on it? What cities should not?  How do you feel drivers are where you live?
