QuoteWizard.com looked at DUI rates, speeding tickets, accident rates and other citations to determine where people practice safe driving and where they don't. The study only sampled data from users of the QuoteWizard site.  The site reports that Pearland is No. 1 in accidents for the state and second in DUI rates.  Pearland is also allegedly second in citations, but hits the middle of the list when it comes to speeding citations.  Houston, at No. 11...
