Careful Out There! August 7th Is the Most Dangerous Day to Drive
Make sure you check those mirrors and watch out for the "other guy." He's an idiot.
Today is supposedly the most dangerous day of the year to drive.
A dash-cam company called Nextbase crunched the numbers and found August 7th is the deadliest day on American roadways.
They didn't explain why a random Wednesday in August is so dangerous. But it's based on data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
They also did a poll that found 62% of drivers feel like the roads are more dangerous than they were five years ago.
Of those people, two-thirds said distracted driving is the thing they worry about most . . . 19% said other people's road rage . . . 7% said getting carjacked . . . and 4% said theft or break-ins.
