The "Allstate America's Teen Driving Hotspots" study found that interestingly, the markets scoring best in the study include some of the nation's largest cities. While these metro areas generally had more total fatal accidents than others - including the New York City area with a nation-leading 869 fatal accidents involving teen drivers from 2000 through 2006 - the scores were lower when factored against the size of local teen populations. The best scoring cities are:

• San Francisco/Oakland, Calif.
• San Jose, Calif.
• New York City (including Long Island and northern New Jersey)
• Los Angeles, Calif.
• Cleveland, Ohio
• Milwaukee, Wisc.
• Boston, Mass.
• Portland, Ore.
• Salt Lake City, Utah
• Chicago, Ill.
