The Insurance Information Institute did a survey that shows the greatest number of fatal car accidents happen in August. This survey shows that summer is more dangerous to drive than winter due to the number of risks. Some of the most common summer driving dangers include construction, blow outs, and greater traffic.
Construction is just another season in Michigan. Frequent road works leads to road closures, slow-downs, workers, and large equipment. Be aware of construction signs as their posted and be prepared to slow down.
Blowouts it’s not uncommon for tire blow-outs. As the weather gets hot the air inside your tire expands. The more worn down your tires are, the greater risk they are for blowing out. Make sure to check the wear on your tires often.
High Traffic Levels. School is out for the summer and more people are traveling and taking vacations. This leads to higher traffic levels, impatient drivers, and traffic jams. Slow down and take your time. Plan your trip ahead and be prepared to add time to your drive. Keep in mind drivers are often unfamiliar with the area they’re traveling and make frequent stops, lane changes, or slow down. Patience is key!
