Detailed explanation-1: -The behavioral adaptation anticipating the longer day on Sunday of the shift from DST in the fall leads to an increased number of accidents suggesting an increase in late night (early Sunday morning) driving when traffic related fatalities are high possibly related to alcohol consumption and driving while sleepy.
Detailed explanation-2: -The majority of vehicle fatalities occur during the summer months and perhaps this late summer day mixes with the shortening of the days and the drive home having a bit less visibility as earlier in the summer, leading to more deadly car accidents on this day.
Detailed explanation-3: -Who Causes More Accidents? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that men cause an average of 6.1 million accidents per year in the US, and women cause 4.4 million accidents per year. Males do 62% of the driving, but only cause 58% of the accidents.
Detailed explanation-4: -Undoubtedly, distracted driving is the number one cause of car accidents. A distracted driver does not have their complete attention on the road, and they may be paying closer attention to a mobile device, passengers, or even a cheeseburger.
