Is Summer a Safer Time to Drive?
Spring is in the air, it seems. It never gets tiring to realise that the nights are getting shorter, the temperature is rising and you can still see your hand in front of your face after 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
As the weather (hopefully) becomes warmer and fewer raindrops fall, the roads, physically speaking, will become safer. But this does not mean that accident rates will decrease. In fact, they may head in the opposite direction.
Many drivers become more negligent and complacent when the roads are grippier and visibility is better. The forethought and prescience they may have exercised over the winter period goes out the window and they’re back to driving like they’re Michael Schumacher.
