Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Ah, and speaking of bad drivers ...
Dallas residents go 7.2 years between car wrecks, not counting high-speed chases. Says so right here, in the Allstate America's Best Drivers Report™, on which Dallas doesn't fare terribly well when it comes to smash-'em-ups. Out of the 200 cities ranked, Dallas comes in at No. 173 -- but only because we're nearly 40 percent more likely to have a car accident when compared to the national average, awesome. And when the insurance company pares it down to cities with more than a million residents, Dallas comes in at No. 7 -- behind the likes of the awfully full-of-itself Houston and San Antonio.
No wonder Dallas is the second-most road-ragey city in the U.S. and A.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
