Q: Which city is the most dangerous for drivers?

A: When shopping for a car insurance quote, nearly 37 percent of Baltimore motorists — more than one in three — report a prior auto-insurance claim, according to the website Insurance.com.

Maybe people in Baltimore are the most honest, but their burg tops all U.S. cities in self-reported claims, including those for accidents, vandalism and theft.

Drivers in Yuma, Ariz., have the lowest rate of reporting prior claims: 17.2 percent.
