WHAT ARE THE TOP 10 DEADLIEST CARS TO DRIVE?

When it comes to hitting the open road, safety should always be a top priority for motorists, especially when navigating through busy cities in Florida like Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg. However, not all vehicles are created equal, and certain models carry a higher risk of accidents and fatalities than others. Fortunately, every few years, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) calculates driver death rates by the make and model of passenger vehicles, shedding light on those that stand out most for their concerning performance and overall stability. Below are the top ten deadliest vehicles according to the Institute’s most recent study.

1. Mitsubishi Mirage (205 Deaths per Million Registered Vehicles)*

2. Dodge Challenger (154 Deaths per Million Registered Vehicles)

3. Hyundai Accent (152 Deaths per Million Registered Vehicles)
