Question 7687
During the day, the greatest number of accidents occurs...
- in the late afternoon, when people leave work.
- at midday.
- early in the morning on weekends.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: in the late afternoon, when people leave 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. The last is the biggest, when people are returning from work. The midday peak is smaller. On weekends, the most dangerous hours are after midnight, rather than early in the morning.
