5 Dangerous Driving Times

On behalf of The Law Offices of Howard Kornberg Posted in Car Accident

Every morning you get up, get your coffee, and head to your car. In your car, you are the king or queen of your ride. You choose your favorite music or maybe stop by your favorite coffee shop. Whatever you want to do, you can do it because it is your car. What we don’t think about is the amount of risk we take every time we put the key into the ignition.

Driving is a privilege and not a right. You have to earn your license by taking a written test and passing a driving test. However, those tests are generally only taken once and never again. Sometimes people forget the basics of driving because they get so comfortable on the road and that’s when things can get dangerous. Our car crash lawyer at the Law Offices of Howard Kornberg in Los Angeles wants to keep you up to date with the most dangerous times to drive. Being aware of dangerous driving time can help you focus while you drive. Avoiding a car accident should be a top priority even if it isn’t for other drivers.

Here are the top 5 dangerous times for you to drive:

  1. Holidays: You always hear about tragic accidents during holidays that promote big family gatherings. It is like a phenomenon or a mixture of weather and congestion of people on the road. The Fourth of July and Thanksgiving are two of the worst holidays of the year for driving. The time between Christmas and New Year holds the record for the drunkest driving to happen. It is hard to avoid driving during this time. Just be extra aware of your surroundings.
  2. Rush Hour: The more cars on the road the more your chances increase for having an accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the hours between 3 pm and 6 pm are prone to more accidents than at any other time.
  3. Saturday: The weekend is not just your personal holiday. Most people have weekends off or prefer to party on the weekends. AAA survey discovered that 31% of fatalities happen on the weekend between the hours of midnight and 3 am. These fatalities are typically due to drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
  4. August: This may sound strange but the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has a report on the top 25 deadliest days of the year. August has 7 of those days which makes August one of the most dangerous months to drive.
  5. Pedestrians: Car accidents don’t always include other cars. Some car accidents cause injury to pedestrians. New Year’s Day and Halloween are the most dangerous holidays for pedestrians. The chance of getting hit increases during these two holidays.
