Quittin' Time.
Ask any truck driver. People get totally retarded then. You don't want to be driving near a big factory at that time, damn sure don't want to be trying to turn.

My brother is a N.C. State Trooper, and he tells me that some of the more severe wrecks come in the early afternoon. He says this is due to the underclass just getting their day started, after a night of substance abuse. They spill out on the road, on the way to a convenience store or Dollar General, and are all screwed up on dope or alcohol.

I used to see a lot of high-speed driving around that time. I always figured it was guys trying to get to second shift.

Headed to the Gas-n-Go for smokes and an energy drink. Guys trying to get to second shift. Guys trying to get farm equipment moved around before evening rush hour. Soccer mom's (obliviots) zooming around trying to get last minute errands wrapped up on their way to pick up kids when school lets out. Schools let out around here at 3:00pm. 2:30pm to 3:30pm traffic can be crazy. Thankful for the little orange fiber optic cable that allows me to work from home even tho I am 40 miles from the "big cities"...

Great, potentially lifesaving information. I, like everyone else who reads this, will surely change our driving times.

Odd stuff. It seems like 5pm is the worst/busiest time in Ar. . I was expecting something like 10pm --> midnite, drunks leaving bars, but that doesn't seem to be the case. MT, SD, KS early afternoon strikes me as odd. And then there is this; "leading cause (of death) for young people between the ages of 5–29 years old"Sad. Some six year old is put in the car seat, told to just shut-up and look out the window. Gets crushed. He didn't do nut'n to deserve that.

I find it interesting that all the times are PM. SD is full of hard working people. Up early for work and early afternoon is quitting time.

I used to work the afternoon shift. It was traffic accidents up the wazoo. Folks just couldn't get home or to the bars fast enough.

The only reason I can think of why Kentucky is around 2 PM, is that's when the drunk Welfare scammers get out of bed and go buy cigs.

The beautiful people in FL are going to work, fixing hair, putting on markup and talking/texting on their cel at the same time. See them all the time @70-80 mph, primping, whiles looking in the rear view mirror, swerving from sided to side. I see, I get way behind them, to avoid the flying plastic and aluminum that is coming.

The worst here seems to be rural highways and county roads. They say that 1/3 of them are drinking or drugs. Inattentive driving is the major cause. I'm constantly reading about stop sign violations or just driving off the road. Both are usually inattentive driving. Nationally, non-whites are far more likely to die in wrecks than whites. We have very few blacks here but Hispanic names are constantly in the accident reports.

Odd stuff. It seems like 5pm is the worst/busiest time in Ar. . Probably skewed with LR/NLR rush hour in the mix. When traveling back to the old homeplace in AR I like to be there before 5PM and that is in South Arkansas.

The study is worthless. Of *course* the ‘most dangerous’ time (as measured by total number of fatalities) correlates strongly with the times that have the most drivers in the road. The correct measure of ‘danger’ should be fatalities per mile driven. My guess is different times would pop up as ‘most dangerous’.
Suppose there are 500,000 miles driven between 5:00 and 6:00 and that results in 2 fatalities. In the same state there are 50,000 miles driven between 1:00 and 2:00 am and that results in 1 fatality. This study would say 5:00-6:00 is TWICE as dangerous as 1:00-2:00. In reality, the odds of dying on the road are 5 times greater between 1:00-2:00.

Of course, someone would have to be genuinely curious about the topic of conversation that they start to see that, so I hope you didn't expect Captain C&P to consider any of it. It's not about quality. It's not about conversation. It's not about substantive content. It's all about quantity with his type. Don't quote me. We don't want the OP to read my hurtful words.
