Summer Driving: Why We See More Accidents During the Summer
Summer is a time for fun, vacations and road trips. However, it’s also a season when road accidents are more frequent. Here’s why driving in the summer can be more dangerous.
More Drivers on the Road: With summer being a popular travel season, the number of drivers on the road increases significantly. This surge in traffic leads to more congestion and a higher likelihood of accidents. Additionally, many drivers are unfamiliar with the roads they’re traveling, adding unpredictability to the mix.
Tire Blowouts: According to AAA, tire blowouts are more common during the summer months. The hot weather causes tires to expand, increasing the tread and making blowouts more likely. It’s essential to regularly check your tires during the summer to avoid this risk.
Inexperienced Teenage Drivers: Summer vacation means more teenagers are driving. Since teenagers generally have less driving experience, they are statistically more likely to be involved in accidents. This increase in inexperienced drivers contributes to the overall rise in summer accidents.
More Motorcycles and Bicycles: Warm weather also brings more motorcyclists and bicyclists onto the roads. Given their smaller size compared to cars, it’s crucial to be extra cautious when driving near them to ensure everyone’s safety.
