five.</p> <p>The safest cities to drive in? Hanmer, Ont., Spruce Grove, Alta., Chelmsford, Ont., Lethbridge, Alta. and Medicine Hat, Alta.</p> <p>But while the news certainly isn’t good for drivers, Brampton isn’t alone when it comes to increasing collision frequency.</p> <p>“Despite improvements in certain regions, the latest Allstate Insurance Company of Canada Safe Driving Study has found that collisions are still on the rise across Canada, with an overall increase of 2.5 per cent in frequency since the previous period studied,” Allstate wrote in the report.</p> <p>“The 2017 study also found that the most severe collisions during the last period can be attributed to incidents involving pedestrians and cyclists, while the second-most severe type of collision was head-on collisions.”</p> <p>Allstate points out that while the collision frequency rate was not the highest in Ontario, it was the only province to report an overall increase in its collision frequency rate – up 4.7 per cent since last year.</p> <p>Interestingly enough, Allstate says that over the past five years, the day of the year with the highest number of collisions in Ontario is February 12.</p> </html> <a
