As summer fades and September arrives, many of us look forward to the crisp air, changing leaves, and the excitement of a new school year. However, this month also brings an unfortunate reality: an increase in auto accidents. Understanding the most common auto accidents in September can help drivers stay vigilant and safe on the roads.
The Human Side of September Accidents
- Back-to-School Crashes: September is back to school time for most families, and more traffic traveling in and out of school and residential areas. Parents rushing kids to school, school buses running frequent stops, and excited kids walking or riding their bikes to school can create a busy and hazardous scene. All this added travel can lead to crashes. Imagine a busy morning where a parent is distracted while attempting to collect breakfast and school materials and overlooks a child in the crosswalk. These are all too common scenarios and help to picture the need for an increased state of awareness during school drop-off and pick-up times.
- Distracted Driving: During the chaos of back-to-school, distractions can multiply. From scrolling through a phone for reminders to adjusting the radio to handling a conversation with kids in the backseat, drivers risk losing their attention. Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of accidents, and it’s essential to keep eyes on the road.
- Weather-Related Accidents: September also brings an end to summer and the beginning of fall, which means unpredictable weather. Rainy days will make the roads slippery, and fog in the morning will reduce visibility. Consider a commuter traveling to work early on a morning without knowing that the weather can change so quickly. Sliding into a second of distraction on a slippery road can cause a disastrous accident. These accidents due to weather have devastating impacts not only on the individuals involved but also on their families and communities.
- Increased Weekends on the Road: With the weather still pleasant, September weekend days are filled with outdoor recreation, sporting events, and family days out. There is more travel on the road with a higher risk of crashes, especially going to and from the event. Visualize several buddies traveling to a football game, excited and perhaps somewhat preoccupied with their escapades. A lapse in attention can lead to a wreck, changing lives in an instant.
