Allstate Insurance Co. has released its fifth annual "Allstate America's Best Drivers Report," which ranks the nation's 200 largest cities in terms of auto collision frequency and deviation from the national average of collision likelihood. Memphis -- the city proper, not the metro area -- comes in a respectable 48th place in collision frequency, according to the data. Furthermore, Memphians were 1.7 percent less likely than the national average to be involved in a collision.
The average Memphis driver would experience a collision every 10.2 years, which, on the downside, is less than the 2005 mark of every 11.5 years.
Back to the bright side: The El Paso Times breaks down midsize cities (500,000 to 1 million population) and finds that Memphis ranks 7th among those.
However, Memphis ranked last among the four Tennessee cities rated: Chattanooga and Knoxville were 3rd and 5th, respectively, and Nashville was 35th (and 3rd among midsize cities).
