Ferrari Mailing List: Re: [NFC] Where are the safest drivers in the country?

Interesting. 

<<The key factors in deciding the rankings include the total number of fatal
accidents and fatal crashes caused by speeding.>>

So, if NY City has a million deaths per year caused by drunk drivers or just
really bad drivers who weren't speeding, then they get a great rating.  But
if St. Louis has a few deaths per year that the police attribute to
speeding, then they get a poor rating.   

So, we are back to the mantra of the 70s and speed kills.

Now I am glad that I don't subscribe to Men's Health Magazine.

Where are the safest drivers in U.S.?
Magazine ranks Des Moines, Iowa at the top; Columbia, S.C. the worst

Quick. Where are the safest drivers in the country?

A new magazine ranking says Des Moines, Iowa.

But the cities that follow on the list from Men¹s Health Magazine may be
somewhat puzzling. After Des Moines are Jersey City, New Jersey; New York
City; Yonkers, New York, and San Francisco.

And where are the worst drivers?

Columbia, South Carolina, leads the list, followed by St. Louis; Greensboro,
North Carolina; Jackson, Mississippi, and Cheyenne, Wyoming.

The survey used data from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
Allstate Insurance and the Governors Highway Safety Association to rank 100
cities.

The key factors in deciding the rankings include the total number of fatal
accidents and fatal crashes caused by speeding.
