THERE IS A NEW SURVEY OUT HIGHLIGHTING WHAT HAS PROVEN TO BE THE MOST DANGEROUS HOUR TO DRIVE ON A CALIFORNIA ROAD. MIKE TESELLE IS LIVE ALONG THE HIGHWAY TO DETAIL WHEN THAT IS AND WHY THE MORNING COMMUTE IS ALSO ON THE LIST FOR, WELL, A DIFFERENT REASON. MIKE. YEAH, KIND OF AN INTERESTING TALKER HERE. THIS MORNING. WE ARE LIVE ON INTERSTATE FIVE. AND THOSE TAIL LIGHTS YOU SEE RIGHT THERE, THEY ARE HEADING TOWARDS DOWNTOWN DURING THIS PART OF THE MORNING COMMUTE. NOW THIS IS NEW SURVEY WAS COMPILED BY A PRIVATE LAW FIRM. BUT THEY TOOK THE LAST FIVE YEARS OF AVAILABLE GOVERNMENT DATA TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, WHAT IS THE MOST DANGEROUS HOUR TO DRIVE BASED ON DEADLY CRASHES? WELL, TAKE A LOOK AT THE NUMBERS WITH ME, BECAUSE BASED ON THE MOST RECENT FIVE YEARS OF AVAILABLE DATA FROM THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF DEADLY CRASHES ON CALIFORNIA ROADS HAPPENED IN THE 8 P.M. HOUR FROM BETWEEN 8 AND 859 AT NIGHT. THAT HOUR IS THREE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO HOST DEADLY CRASHES. HISTORICALLY THAN CALIFORNIA’S SAFEST HOUR, WHICH JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE CLOCK DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE, 8 TO 9 A.M. BY THE WAY, CALIFORNIA’S DEADLIEST TIME A LITTLE UNIQUE FROM MUCH OF THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. AS IN ALMOST HALF OF THE COUNTRY, THE TWO MOST DANGEROUS HOURS TO BE ON ROADS ELSEWHERE SIX AND 7:00 AT NIGHT, WHICH WOULD BE RIGHT IN LINE WITH OBVIOUSLY A LOT MORE PEOPLE BEING ON THE ROAD DURING THE EVENING COMMUTE. BUT AS WE COME BACK OUT HERE LIVE, SCOTT, THE LAW FIRM THAT COMPILED THIS DATA FOR THIS SURVEY, SAYS THAT JUST BECAUSE THOSE HOURS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE ON THE LIST DOESN’T MEAN THAT THE OTHER HOURS AREN’T DANGEROUS. INSTEAD, THEY SAY THAT THIS KIND OF INFORMATION REALLY SHOULD REINFORCE THE FACT THAT IT IS GOOD TO DRIVE SAFE NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY IT IS TO TRY AND AVOID BECOMING A CRASH ON ANY PART OF THE TIMELINE. DURING THE DAY. LI
