Survey Says Detroit Most Dangerous U.S. City for Drivers

Here's another list Detroiters would rather not make.

NerdWallet, a financial advice website, examined  nearly 200 of the nation’s most populous cities and ranked Detroit #1 for being the most dangerous city for driver. The survey was  based on such factors as car crashes,  fatal accidents and vehicle-related crimes.

Elizabeth Renter of  NerdWallet writes:

Of all cities analyzed, Detroit has the second-highest fatal accident rate per 100,000 residents at 16.2. The average annual cost of insurance in Detroit ($5,409) is $4,680 higher than that of our safest city for drivers, Cary, North Carolina. As with four of our five most dangerous cities for drivers, Detroit received ratings that fall within the “least safe” range for car break-ins and stolen cars.
