Seattle Drivers: As Mediocre As Previously Thought
Hell is other drivers. Rather, Hell is suffering other drivers during mid-afternoon traffic on one of the Seattle's many crowded arterials. All told, however, Seattle wheel jockeys aren't half bad--so suggests Allstate Insurance's just released America's Best Driver Report. 
According to Allstate's reckoning, Seattleites go 8.3 years between car-wrecks, and are 21 percent more likely to collide with another drive when compared with the national average. The report puts Seattle at No. 134 out of 200--a respectable showing considering that most of the cities that fill out the top half of the list of the list barely crack 300, 000 population-wise. (Less population equals, equals less car owners, equals less fender benders.) That said, Seattle trails behind nearly all of the ranked cities in the region, including Bellevue, Spokane and (sigh) Portland. Only Tacoma was ranked lower.
Is it any wonder then that some people prefer to commute via boat?
