Where do most fatal accidents happen?

By

Most auto accidents happen within a mile of your own home. I suggest now might be a good time to move!

But seriously folks, since September is National Safety month, according to the National Safety Council,

  • 2.16% of fatal accidents happen at work.
  • 18.81% of fatal accidents happen somewhere else.
  • 33.04% of fatal accidents happen in a motor vehicle
  • 45.99% of fatal accidents happen in the home.

One person suffers a fatal accident every four minutes.

So, if I were you, I would either spend more time at work and take your chances or make sure you have good life insurance to secure the financial future of your family!

Statistics can be fun, can't they!?

Be sure not to text and drive... Or put on make up and drive... Or eat and drive... As a matter of fact, if you are going to drive, just drive...

Being on a motorcycle most of the summer months, I really would prefer that most people who are driving just drive.  What a refreshing change that would be.  Because if you can't see the vehicle in front of you, you sure as LLEH won't see me in the next lane or even in front of you. 

Please drive safely for all of us.  Children, especially.

Also...don't program or play with your GPS while driving. It's just as bad as texting and driving.

Don, yes, being on a motorcycle these days can be a little scary! Be safe out there!

Debbie, So true! My Nav system won't let me do anything unless the vehicle is stopped.

Susan, that's just crazy! I hope people stay safe out there. It only takes a few minutes to do those other tasks. Proper prior plan & focus on what you're doing at the time!
