Autumn is the Most Dangerous Season for Auto Accident Damage in the United States

According to Carfax, we have begun the most dangerous season for driving. 72% of U.S. drivers live in states where Fall is the peak season for accidents.  Several factors contribute to the increase including fewer daylight hours, slick roads caused by leaves, and nearly half of all deer crashes occurring during their mating season between October and December.  The week following Daylight Savings Time is especially dangerous as deer collisions increase 16%, leading to approximately $1.2 billion in damage annually.
