Ft. Lauderdale Tops List Of Most Dangerous Cities To Drive
MIAMI (CBS4) – If you think drivers are dangerous in South Florida, you're right, especially in Fort Lauderdale which has topped a new list of the 15 most dangerous U.S. cities for driving.
According to the CNBC report, the list is based on traffic fatality statistics compiled from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Four Florida cities made the list including Fort Lauderdale which was ranked first, Orlando was ranked second, Jacksonville was 11th and St. Petersburg came in at 12th.
