Congratulations, Queen City motorists. An annual report that ranks drivers in America rates Cincinnati's drivers as the worst in Ohio.

Allstate Insurance Agency ranks the Queen City at 160 out of 200 in the yearly “America’s Best Drivers Report.” The report looks at the country’s largest 200 cities and uses information like relative collision likelihood — which shows how likely an accident will occur based on data averages from all cities listed — and average years between collisions based on Allstate’s claim data.

The rankings for all cities listed in Ohio are Akron (32), Dayton (38), Toledo (51), Cleveland (68), Columbus (121) and Cincinnati (160).

The average Cincinnati driver will experience a collision every 7.7 years compared to the national average of every 10 years, according to the report.

When factoring in population density, Cincinnati is ranked 162. With precipitation as a factor, Cincinnati is at 158.

The report comes before the Fourth of July, which the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety said is the deadliest driving day of the year, on average. Nine of the 10 deadliest days for youth on U.S. highways fall between May and August according to the IIHS.

Brownsville, Texas is ranked as having the best drivers on the list. Boston is named the worst safe-driving city.

Lexington ranked highest among nearby cities as the No. 25 city for best drivers. Indianapolis ranked No. 62 and Louisville ranked No. 85.
