Recent data reveals concerning news for Windsor motorists and pedestrians alike. Our city has earned the dubious distinction of being named Ontario’s ninth most dangerous city for driving, according to a comprehensive study by insurance technology leader MyChoice.
Alarming Statistics for Windsor Drivers
These findings paint a troubling picture of road safety in our community.
According to a recent article, nearly 12 percent of Windsor drivers have infractions on their records. An even higher percentage, 12.44 percent, have filed insurance claims due to being involved in a crash.
Comprehensive Research Methodology
This eye-opening research analysed data from more than 150,000 car insurance quotes dating back to 2020. The study’s methodology carefully weighted different types of driver negligence based on severity to determine each city’s risk ranking.
Local Impact and Safety Concerns
For Windsor residents, these statistics hit close to home. Whether you use your vehicle to commute to work, drop children at school or run errands, this study suggests an elevated risk of encountering unsafe drivers on our local roads.
Surprising City Rankings
Surprisingly, Toronto, despite its reputation for heavy traffic, emerged as Ontario’s safest city for drivers. In contrast, Brantford claimed the unenviable position as the province’s most dangerous driving locale.
Protecting Your Rights on the Road
These statistics serve as a stark reminder of the importance of defensive driving and maintaining adequate insurance coverage. They also underscore the critical need for experienced legal representation should you find yourself involved in a collision.
