accident2.jpg Los Angeles drivers are 45 percent more prone to collisions than the nation's average motorist. And we can expect fender benders to happen about every seven years, according to an annual report from Allstate Insurance released Thursday.

Safest place in the country to drive is Sioux Falls, S.D., where motorists can expect to crash every 13.7 years and are 27 percent less likely to have accidents than drivers in other cities.

For the past three years, Allstate has studied company claim data to determine the likelihood of drivers in America's 200 largest cities to experience a car crash compared to the national average. Allstate's auto policies represent about 12 percent of the U.S. population.
