Drivers in Washington were ranked the second-worst in the nation in a new report from a car insurer — beaten in the race to the bottom only by Baltimore drivers.

Allstate’s annual “America’s Best Drivers Report” examines insurance claims each year “to determine the likelihood drivers in America’s 200 most populous cities will experience a vehicle collision compared to the national average.” The report also examines “hard-braking data” from drivers voluntarily enrolled in a program that provides personalized driving feedback.

Allstate accounts for about 10 percent of the auto insurance market, but the report wasn’t used to determine rates, the company said.

Baltimore drivers — with 4.2 years between collisions, on average, and 30.6 hard-braking events per 1,000 miles — were ranked the worst in the nation by Allstate for the second year in a row. Its motorists were 152.5 percent more likely to be involved in a collision than drivers nationally, the report said.

The District was spared the indignity of the second-worst ranking last year by Boston’s fabled poor drivers. However, this year, D.C. took spot No. 199, with drivers going an average of 4.4 years between collisions and with 27.2 hard-braking events per 1,000 miles.

The report said D.C. drivers are 142.3 percent more likely to be involved in a collision than drivers nationally. (Drivers in Arlington and Alexandria didn’t fare much better, ranking No. 168 and No. 192, respectively.)

[D.C. drivers are the nation’s fourth worst — but better than Boston or Baltimore, report says]

The best drivers in the nation live in Brownsville, Tex., according to the report. These careful travelers go almost 15 years, on average, between collisions and are over 29 percent less likely to be involved in a collision than drivers nationally.

:scust: As a Maryland resident and frequent Lyft/Uber driver in DC and Baltimore, I agree wholeheartedly with this report by All State. Every week you hear about a pedestrian getting hit. This morning, news said a 2 year old died in a car crash in Oxon Hill recently :mjcry:

Just saw a PEAPOD delivery driver in an accident with a car on Riggs Road between East-West Hwy and New Hampshire in Hyattsville

These muthafukkas act like they are the only car on the road. Every day I see people nearly taking a life on the road :wow: with no fukks given. nikkas getting into your lane while you're right next to them like :what:

Folks doing 60 in a 35 MPH like :dahell: at least slow it down to 50 cuz

And these Hispanics :mjpls: no disrespect but these folks GOTTA have a hook up at the MVA cuz I 100% believe they don't know what these traffic/road signs even mean :pachaha:

I can believe it. But navigating this city can be the worst. Lights aren’t in sync so if you catch one red light you’ll be at a red every block unless you race from the first light to beat the next. Sometimes only lanes don’t even have signs there’s just some faded paint on the street so if you aint familiar your gonna end up having to get over and fukk traffic all up. Potholes everywhere that you have to do dodge or fukk an axle up. Speed and red light cameras everywhere. People randomly double parked on busy streets. People randomly crossing the street in the middle of moving traffic. shyt is prolly a nightmare for outta towners
:whew:

I honestly don't think it's that bad. In college I used to do deliveries all the time in DC. Wasn't a problem for me.

Then again, I started driving in Abuja and Lagos, Nigeria. Driving out there is like the wild wild west :pachaha:

Nikkas gambling with their lives at every 4 way intersection :russ:
