🚦 Holiday Travel: The Rush Hour on Steroids

Did you know the festive season often brings unique, and sometimes challenging, driving conditions?

​Interesting Travel Facts:

​The Weekend Spike: Accident rates are often highest on Fridays and Saturdays during the festive travel period, particularly between 5 PM and 11 PM. This is a prime-time window where fatigue meets the pressure of a long drive.

​The Fatigue Factor: Studies show that taking three rest breaks (as opposed to none) can reduce a driver's crash odds by up to 85%. Long-distance driving, especially after a year of hard work, demands regular stops!

​Speeding is a Key Culprit: On major holiday routes, excessive speed remains a leading factor in fatal crashes. Even a small increase in speed drastically reduces your reaction time.

​Pedestrian Vulnerability: In many regions, the highest percentage of festive season fatalities involve pedestrians.

This highlights the need for hyper-vigilance, especially in high-traffic or poorly lit areas.
