Ft. Lauderdale Named The Most Dangerous City to Drive
Ft. Lauderdale recently earned the dubious distinction of being the most dangerous city in the country to drive. Indeed, four Florida cities made the list, with Ft. Lauderdale topping the list.
The list was based on traffic fatality statistics compiled from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
So why does Florida rank so badly? Many blame the high number of New York transplants, and transplants from foreign nations, as well as the high number of tourists who travel to South Florida, for the reason. Others cite to the high number of spring breakers who to travel to Florida for some "fun in the sun." Others mention faulty and old roadways.
Nonetheless, here is the entire list:
1. Fort Lauderdale
2. Orlando
3. Augusta-Richmond Co., Georgia
4. Little Rock, Arkansas
5. San Bernardino, California
6. Salt Lake City, Utah
7. Chattanooga, Tennessee
8. Jackson, Mississippi
9. Memphis, Tennessee
10. Lubbock, Texas
11. Jacksonville
12. St. Petersburg
13. Tulsa, Oklahoma
14. Birmingham, Alabama
15. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
