Halloween – Zombies and
vampires are not the only peril you should be afraid of on this
ghoulish day; beware an increase in bad drivers too! Statistics
indicate that drivers are somewhere between 8% and 10% more likely to
be involved in collisions on this day than on non-holidays. There is
certainly more pedestrian traffic on the road at night, and depending
on where you live, it will likely be dark when the majority of that
foot traffic is out looting. An increase in the numbers of people out
there generally, and the timing of that increase during evening hours
specifically, make for an increase in the risk of collision overall.
If you are a pedestrian, protect yourself by staying well away from
the roads, and wearing bright, visible clothing. If your costume has
you bound to dark colours, be sure to use reflective strips. In
either case, carrying a flashlight is a good idea too—both for your
own vision, and for your visibility to others as well. If you are a
driver, do your best to make a point of not driving this evening.
Plan your errands early in the week so that you can stay off the
roads.
Parent days – Both
Mother's Day and Father's Day see an increase in motor vehicle
collisions when compared with non holidays. Interestingly enough, the
increased risk is actually more pronounced on Father's Day. Where
there is a 5% to 6% increase in this risk for Mother's Day, that
figure is closer to 8% for Father's Day. Does this mean you should
avoid celebrating the most important people in your life? Of course
not! But there are things you can do to keep the risks down. In
making plans, try to minimize the amount of driving you'll be doing
that day. If you are holding celebrations at home, make a point of
gathering food, beverages, decorations, etc. before the actual day of
celebration. If you opt to go out, try to pick a local family
favourite to decrease the distance you'll be driving.
New Year's Eve – Not
surprisingly, this is the most dangerous holiday of all when it comes
to car accidents. In fact, in any given year, the risk of collision
goes up by 50% on New Year's Even when compared with other holidays.
Unfortunately, the leading culprit of risk factors in this case is
alcohol consumption. If you are going out to someone else's party and
plan to consume alcohol, have a designated driver. Additionally, keep
an eye out for friends who seem to be past their limit, and don't let
them leave with car keys in their hands. If you are hosting, do your
part by ensuring that everyone has a safe way of getting home (or
even a place to stay with you, if you are able to offer it).
