When you haven’t won a championship in 25 years, you take your laurels where you can get them.
Still, this is likely one “title” we could probably do without.
We’re apparently lousy drivers. That’s the word from Allstate Insurance Co. and their new nationwide survey on driving and traffic accidents.
Of the 10 large cities studied, we check in at a robust No. 9 when it comes to unsafe driving.
That’s worse than Los Angeles, Chicago and even New York.
The folks at Allstate base this on a finding that indicates we average 6.6 years between fender-benders, which makes us 50 percent more likely to be involved in some kind of road mayhem than those at the national average of 10 years between crashes.
Hey, don’t these people realize we’re hemmed in on all sides by the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Blue Route, Schuylkill Expressway and I-95?
And we have to navigate all these busy thoroughfares while chatting on our hand-held cell phones.
What did they expect?
It’s amazing that they can tell us exactly where we rank in terms of lousy drivers, but no one seems able to synchronize the lights on Baltimore Pike?
