Stay Safe During the 100 Deadliest Days of Summer
As the temperatures rise and schools let out, the “100 Deadliest Days of Summer” begin—a
period from Memorial Day to Labor Day when traffic fatalities involving teen drivers spike
significantly. With more vehicles on the road, road trips in full swing, and increased outdoor
activity, accidents are unfortunately more common this time of year.

As the temperatures rise and schools let out, the “100 Deadliest Days of Summer” begin—a
period from Memorial Day to Labor Day when traffic fatalities involving teen drivers spike
significantly. With more vehicles on the road, road trips in full swing, and increased outdoor
activity, accidents are unfortunately more common this time of year.
At The Hodge Law Firm, we care deeply about the safety of our community. Whether you’re headed to the beach, the lake, or just around town, here are some essential safety tips to help you
and your loved ones stay safe during these summer months.
Summer Driving Safety Tips:
- Avoid Distracted Driving: Texting, talking on the phone, or using GPS while driving
are leading causes of summer crashes. Keep your focus on the road. - Limit Nighttime Driving: Accident risks are higher at night, especially for
inexperienced drivers. Stick to daylight travel when possible. - Wear Your Seat belt: Always. It's one of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce
injury in a crash. - Never Drive Under the Influence: Alcohol and summer gatherings go hand-in-hand, but
buzzed driving is still drunk driving. Always designate a sober driver. - Be Mindful of Weather: Sudden summer storms can reduce visibility and slick the
roads. Slow down and use your headlights. - Watch for Pedestrians and Cyclists: More people are walking, biking, and playing
outside. Stay alert in neighborhoods and recreational areas.
