Question 2

What contributes to car accident fatalities?

Accepted Answer

The sunnier weather may make drivers on the road feel more daring, but there are three significant contributing factors for so many car accidents in august. Those include factors such as: *Speeding up abruptly, *Hard braking or brake-checking, *Spending prolonged time in congested traffic ñ also known as idling. The break-down of these driving habits by the state show that: *New york and illinois drivers are most likely to accelerate their speed suddenly; *Arizona, georgia, and new york drivers are most likely to brake-check; and, *arizona, florida, georgia, and new york drivers are most likely to be stuck in congested traffic (idling) that leads frustrated drivers to make hasty decisions. Additionally, with the summer months come summer vacations. People are spending prolonged time in their vehicles driving to their summer getaways. Drivers become fatigued behind the wheel, which can cause delayed reactions and aggressive habits as they try to reach their destination faster. People also are more likely to stay out later at the bars with the extended daylight hours in august, leading to more drinks and poor decision-making.

Question 3

What's the most dangerous day of the week for drivers?

Accepted Answer

Everyone knows that rush hour traffic is the worst, no matter what state you live in. But according to our data, fridays are the worst day of the week from 9:00 in the morning until 4:00 in the afternoon when it comes to aggressive driving.
