I suspect the statistics are based on dollar value of insurance claims, not on driver skills. In this area, there are a lot of relatively new well insured, luxury cars that get repaired immediately after a minor accident and a repair for barely visible damage easily gets into the four figure range. Compare that with regions where the most common vehicles are basic pickup trucks with a few years experience and no collision insurance. The figures will be misleading, at best.
