What Are Missouri’s Most Deadly Driving Hours?

It's true that how you drive plays the biggest part in how likely you are to be in a serious accident in Missouri, but when you drive plays a role also. There's new data revealing the most deadly hours to be behind the wheel in the Show Me State.

I came across a conversation thread on the Missouri sub-Reddit which referenced a study shared by a law firm about the real causes of accidents in the state.

If you dig deep into the study shared by DHH Law Firm, you'll see there are certain days and hours of the week when you're most likely to be in a vehicular accident in Missouri. Note that Friday and Saturday nights are the most dangerous times when accidents in Missouri happen most often.

I am not surprised that Friday and Saturday nights between 6pm and 12 midnight are the most dangerous driving times in Missouri, but I'm shocked that the overnight hours from Saturday night to early Sunday morning aren't more perilous. When you consider how many people who are out on the town Saturday night and make the bad decision to drive after consuming alcohol, the overnight hours early Sunday would seem to be one of the most common time periods for serious or fatal accidents.

The study shared by DHH Law Firm includes a lot of other interesting Missouri driving hazards including how different types of weather and road conditions play a role in accident frequency. It's just another reminder that you can never let your guard down when you're behind the wheel of a vehicle.
