Buckle up and hold on tight! St. Louis is the most dangerous city to drive in, according to Men's Health Magazine.
The magazine used a formula tabulating the rate of fatal crashes, the average number of years between accidents, rates of seat belt use and laws about cellphone use while driving to come to their semi-scientific findings.
"The result? Don't meet me in St. Louis," the article quipped.
St. Paul, MN, is the safest city for driving, according to the article.
St. Louis doesn't usually fare well in Men's Health Magazine's lists. A recent story named the city No. 5 on a list of worst cities for men.

Whoever picked St Louis drivers for the worst in the nation has never driven in Florida. The roads and highways are full of the most impetuous drivers I've ever experienced. It's customary to see 3 cars go through an intersection after the light turns red - never enter an intersection in Florida until you see car actually stop first.

I think the author, Lindsey, must have been in the wrong crowd at THE WRONG HIGH SCHOOL in St. Louis and has something against all St. Louisans, Get over it Lindsey Toler - St. Louis does not have the worst drivers. Maybe you need to get out more often!

Lindsay was only reporting on an article in Men's Health Magazine. These were not necessarily her opinions. Please read articles more carefully.

Gayle Grabish is correct about the (newer) speed traps. But drivers also have told me they slow down in Wildwood due to the fear of hitting deer.
