S urviving the 100 D eadliest D ays HOW TO STAY SAFE DURING THE MOST DANGEROUS MONTHS ON THE ROAD
during this period each year more than 1,000 people are killed in collisions involving teen drivers. That’s an average of roughly 10 deaths per day, a 14% jump in frequency from the rest of the year. So, how can you protect yourself this summer? Here are a few ideas: Drive Only When Necessary A pleasure cruise with the windows rolled down can be tempting when it’s warm, but the best way to stay safe during the 100 Deadliest Days is to stay off of the roads entirely. You can decrease your risk of getting in an accident by limiting your trips to those that are absolutely necessary. When possible, choose alternate forms of transportation like biking or walking to get from point A to point B. Stick to the Sunshine If driving is your only option, try to schedule your trips when it’s still light outside. After nightfall, it’s more difficult to see obstacles and other drivers, particularly if they’ve
neglected their headlights. To make matters worse, people on the road are more likely to be tired or inebriated after the sun goes down, increasing the chance of a collision. Forbes reports that 54% of crashes at night are alcohol-related, compared to 18% during the day. Buckle Up You’ve doubtless heard this advice a thousand times, but it’s worth repeating: Always, always use your seatbelt. The National Highways Traffic Safety Administration says that seatbelts saved 14,955 lives in 2017 alone but could have saved 2,549 more if everyone had used them. In addition to clicking your own belt into place, make sure any young children in your car are properly buckled up in their car seats or boosters.

Summer is both the best and the worst time for road trips. While dry roads and seemingly endless sunshine can make it extremely enticing to pack up a cooler, top off your oil, and hit the pavement, the stretch of time between Memorial Day and Labor Day is also the most dangerous to be behind the wheel.
