In Worcester, Massachusetts, the average driver goes just 4.3 years between collisions, compared to the national average of about every 10 years. Drivers need only cruise about 40 miles east to find the second-worst city: Boston.

The 10th annual "Allstate America's Best Drivers Report," is based on the insurer's claims data and ranks America's 200 largest cities in terms of car collision frequency.

Springfield, Massachusetts; Providence, Rhode Island; and New Haven, Connecticut, make up New England's contribution to the worst 10 list.
