    Our latest analysis uses QuoteWizard by LendingTree insurance quote data to determine which car brands have the worst drivers.

    Wonder how many drivers of each brand they actually have, that would very much sway the numbers if they have smaller numbers of some brands insured.

    This sounds like less of a “study” and more of a top ten list for page views.

      Yeah, their “safest” list top 3 were all dead marques; Mercury, Pontiac, and Saturn. They definitely have some sampling issues.

      The right source for this kind of stuff is the NHTSA’s database, but you can’t manufacture juicy headlines from that.
