Residents of Fort Wayne are among the safest drivers in America, according to the 2008 Allstate America's Best Drivers Report.

Fort Wayne drivers roared in at No. 14 in Allstate's list of cities with the safest drivers.

For the third consecutive year, Sioux Falls, S.D., motorists maintained their status as the safest drivers in the United States, according to the fourth annual "Allstate America's Best Drivers Report."

The average driver in Sioux Falls experiences an auto collision every 14.6 years.

Compared to the national likelihood of a driver experiencing a collision every 10 years -- Sioux Falls motorists are 31.6 percent less likely to get into a car accident.

Holding fast to the number two spot for the third consecutive year is Fort Collins, Colo. On average, motorists in Fort Collins experience a car collision every 13.4 years.

Fort Wayne Motorists averaged a collision every 12.3 years, making them 18.7 percent less likely to have a collision than the national average.

Indianapolis ranked No. 60 in the report, with drivers in the city averaging a collision every 10.4 years and making them 3.6 percent less likely to have a collision than the national average. Indianapolis was No. 9 among cities with a population of 500,000 to 1 million residents.

Allstate researchers analyzed company claim data to determine the likelihood drivers in America's 200 largest cities would experience a vehicle collision compared to the national average.

To add to the country's interest in comparing male vs. female, pre-baby boomer vs. boomer, generation X vs. generation Y, Allstate's Best Drivers Report delivers a new category and recognizes that safest cities based on gender and generation. Allstate compared the top 20 cities where Allstate writes auto insurance policies to determine the safest cities based on gender and generation. Tucson, Ariz., received top honors as the safest cities for males, females, pre-baby boomers, baby boomers and Gen X. El Paso, Texas, landed the top spot as the safest city for Gen Y drivers, according to data.
