Other New England cities don't fare much better. Springfield is ranked 196th, followed by Providence at 194.

Boston drivers go about 3.7 years between collisions, the report found.
The best drivers can be found in Brownsville, Texas, the insurance company says. Drivers there go an average of 14.6 years between collisions.
