If you’re like most drivers, you probably thought Friday afternoon rush hour was the most dangerous time to be on the roads. You probably also think that winter driving causes more accidents than summer driving. But your New Jersey dealership wants to bring your attention to this article that dispels those beliefs.
Information reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows that Saturday is the most dangerous day to drive on the highways. In addition to that, data shows that August is the deadliest month on the roads. In fact, in 2008, 800 more people died as a result of traffic accidents in August than in January. One of the reasons for this difference may be due to the fact that drivers tend to be more cautious when the roads are covered with snow. Many drivers may even opt to stay home when the snow starts falling, reducing the number of people on the roads during the winter months.
The overwhelming majority (95 percent) of traffic accidents occur as a result of human error. Distracted driving is a major contributor to this percentage as drivers lose their focus when they decide to text, talk on a cell phone, eat or take their eyes off the road to change the radio station.
Your Bound Brook area Chevrolet dealer encourages you to adjust your driving habits to be safer. We have to share the roads, so it’s important that each driver is as responsible as they can be.
