Ask A Kansas City Auto Accident Attorney: When Are Missouri Roads Most Dangerous?

When do the most Kansas City car accidents happen: morning, noon, or night?

Is it possible to predict when the roads are most dangerous and reduce your chance of becoming a Kansas City accident victim?

According to car accident experts, the time of day you choose to be out on the road can affect your chances of being involved in a traffic accident. Our Kansas City auto accident attorneys explain.

Rush-hour Traffic

If you are a commuter, you know that rush-hour traffic can be brutal. The roads are congested, drivers are tired, everyone just wants to get home, and some drivers are willing to take any risk to get there just a few minutes faster. If your job allows, going to work a little bit earlier or leaving a little bit later can make your commute faster and safer.

Weekend Traffic

During the summer, people are more social. They are more likely to get together in situations that involve drinking and this means some drivers will choose to drive home while impaired. Know when the clubs and bars in your area of the Kansas City shut down and plan accordingly. Avoid being on the road when people are just leaving bars and clubs. Many people don't realize the effect of alcohol and how long it stays in the body. The best way to avoid becoming a Missouri drunk driving victim is to stay home.

Late Night/Early Morning

While the roads are often clear late at night, drivers who are on the road may be drowsy and are more likely to fall asleep at the wheel. Try to avoid driving between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m.
