Recent findings have placed Kingston as the third most dangerous city for driving in Ontario, a concerning title for residents and visitors alike. This ranking, derived from a comprehensive study by MyChoice, an insurance comparison site, is based on data including over 100,000 insurance quotes, 2,274 accidents, and 5,080 traffic tickets since 2020.
The study, titled “Top 10 Safest and Most Dangerous Cities for Driving in Ontario,” reveals startling statistics about driving risks in Kingston.
