Summer is the most dangerous time of year for car accidents due to increased risks from hot weather, distractions, and mood changes.
Distracted driving, which claimed 3,273 lives in 2023, is a significant concern on American roads, especially during summer.
Common driving risks in summer include navigational distractions, speeding due to nice weather, road construction, and an increase in teen drivers.
Experts note that summer driving comes with challenges such as more distractions, higher likelihood of speeding, increased road construction, and more inexperienced teen drivers on the road.
