Every driver knows the basic ways they can both prevent and
increase their chances of escaping injury in an accident. They know that they
should drive more slowly in bad weather, always wear their seatbelt, be aware
of the other drivers on the road around them, and so forth.
But sometimes even the most careful of drivers can find
themselves in an accident. And now, statistics are adding another layer to the
puzzle by revealing what times of the day or year are the most dangerous to
drive. Would you have guessed that the most dangerous time to be on the road,
going by statistics, is a Friday in September between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m.?
Just remember: this doesn’t mean that drivers can
relax every other day of the year. An accident can happen at any time while
you’re on the road; it just so happens that statistics show that accidents are more likely to happen at certain times,
and that some days require a little extra caution on the driver’s part. That’s
not bad information to have on hand!

car accidents are most likely to happen.
