Driving on Broadway in Quincy during prime hours makes me want to curl up in a blanket. People are horrible and a new survey out seems to agree with me.

I feel like I've seen it all when I am driving. People texting and driving, talking on the phone, speeding in school zones, doing their make-up, and tailgating it's crazy what I see. So when a survey came out with the best & worst drivers in Illinois I wasn't surprised that Quincy made the list.

A new Quote Wizard with the Best and Worst Cities in Illinois for driving ranked Quincy 24 out of 25 for having the worst drivers in Illinois. Also making the list are Naperville (#18), Rock Island (#8), Crystal Lake (#3), and Park Ridge (#1).

Which Cities are the Best to Drive in Illinois?

With the bad comes the good. Not all cities are not bad to drive in. Arlington Heights (#3), Des Plaines (#2), and Evanston (#1) take the top three spots on the list. 

QuoteWizard found out these results by using data from insurance companies and the number of claims that were made in previous years.

The QuoteWizard research team evaluated driver quality from the 50 largest cities in Illinois by population. We analyzed 2018 data of over 120,000 insurance quotes from Illinois drivers using QuoteWizard to find the rate of overall incidents in each city. Incidents include accidents, speeding tickets, DUIs, and citations.

Just a reminder to be safe out there and don't become distracted.
