Nighttime Driving Involves Higher Risk of Fatal Collisions in Georgia
The most dangerous time for those traveling in motor vehicles is after dark when the visibility of drivers is compromised by a lack of light and an increased number of drunk drivers are present on Georgia and Atlanta streets and highways. Data from the federal agency also supports the position that the risk of being hit by a drunk driver is higher at night. While eighteen percent of fatal accidents during the day involve drunk drivers, 54 percent of deadly wrecks at night involve alcohol impaired drivers. Because nighttime driving accidents are especially common and dangerous, our Atlanta Accident Attorneys have provided answers to common questions about these types of collisions.
