Enjoy Las Vegas, But Beware Of Motorists

Las Vegas and North Las Vegas rank in the bottom half of American cities in driver safety and are sliding down the scale, says a new study by Allstate. And while things were brighter in Henderson, it also fell in the rankings. In its 2018 America’s Best Drivers Report, the insurance giant placed Las Vegas at 122 among the nation’s 200 largest cities. That was 10 places down from last year. North Las Vegas fared even worse, dropping 20 places in the rankings to 140th. As for Henderson, it was far safer — No. 57 — but that was six places down from 2017. The rankings were based partly on the average number of years that drivers go between collisions, a figure based on Allstate’s claims.
