The Allstate Insurance Company today released its seventh annual "Allstate America's Best Drivers Report™." The report ranks America's 200 largest cities in terms of car collision frequency to identify which cities have the safest drivers according to Allstate data.

In the 2011 report, Houston ranks 155 out of 200 on the national list. That's a slight improvement since last year's report where Houston ranked 161st nationally. According to the report, the average driver in Houston will experience an auto collision every 7.8 years.

The Allstate America's Best Driver's Report was created to facilitate an ongoing dialogue on safe driving that saves lives. This year's top honor of "America's Safest Driving City" is Fort Collins, Colorado, the second consecutive year for the city at the top spot. According to the report, the average driver in Fort Collins will experience an auto collision every 14 years, which is 28.6 percent less likely than the national average of 10 years.

Below is a snapshot look at how other cities in Texas finished.

Auto crashes in general have declined over the last few years, but crash fatalities still average more than 32,000 every year despite technological advances, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
