You might want to stay off the roads on Tax Day. According to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, there are more fatal car accidents on that day than any other day in April. They looked at data over the past 30 years and found a 6% spike on Tax Day – that’s 13 more fatal crashes than usual, about the same as Super Bowl Sunday. Some attribute that spike to distracted taxpayers rushing and taking routes that are not part of their normal routine. Tax Day falls on Tuesday, April 17th this year.
The next dangerous driving days to watch out for are Wednesday, July 4th and Tuesday, November 6th – Election Day.
