The report says: SMALLER cities.
Seven of the 10 safest cities had populations of less than 1 million people. They include Boise, Idaho, and Lincoln, Nebraska.
San Antonio do not belong to a category of SMALL cities.

Ironic that some people never learned how to read headlines. Why am I not surprised.

The story wasn't about small towns having safe driving records. It was about ALL towns that had safe driving records. The ones that were deemed "safest" just happened to be small.

The headline does not suggest that only smaller towns were included. It suggests that smaller towns are the safest meaning that they had to be compared to larger towns. San Antonio education FAIL. What I did hear on the news is that San Antonio is the 3rd safest out of towns with over a million people. I think that is sort of misleading because San Antonio is closer in population to a town with 800,000 people than towns with 2 million +.
