Is it safer to drive in midnight?
Is it safer to drive in midnight? Drowsy-driving crashes are most likely to happen between midnight and 6 a.m., says NHTSA. So be aware during these hours that there may be sleepy drivers on the road—and keep yourself alert. Have some caffeine, pull over in a safe area to get some rest, or stop for the night.
Why do people drive at night?
Some people work swing or grave shift, going to work or coming home. Others are in transit long distance and want to do their driving overnight when there is less traffic. Still others might have a late-night craving and want to go to the store.
What times are roads quietest?
Certain days of the week, specifically Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., are likely to have less traffic than others. On the other hand, Fridays are the busiest day of the week.
