Summer driving has its own hazards. In 2014, August was the second month with the highest number of fatal car accidents, second to October. Although many of us think of winter as being a hazardous time to drive in certain parts of the country, there are in fact several ways that summertime is as dangerous – or perhaps more dangerous – for driving:
If you are the parent of a teen driver, summertime is a good time to remind them of safe driving habits: don’t speed, put away the smartphone, don’t drink and drive. Take the time to enforce these rules so your teen learns safe driving habits.
Always wear a seatbelt! These safety devices are proven to save lives in the event of an accident. Failure to wear a seatbelt leads to more serious injuries and a greater risk of fatal injuries in the event of a crash.
We hope that by helping you to understand summertime driving risks, you will be better prepared to deal with them, should any of these hazards arise. We wish all of our South Carolina neighbors a fun-filled and safe summer season.
