Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Early in the morning, when people arrive at work.
There are three daily peaks in crashes: from 8 to 10 a.m., from 1 to 3 p.m., and from 5 to 8 p.m. All three coincide with trips to and from work. The biggest peak is when people leave work in the late afternoon, which is not among the options. Of the options given, only the morning arrival time is linked to work. On weekends, the danger is concentrated in the hours after midnight because of nightlife.
