Turns out, fall is the trickiest time to be behind the wheel according to the vehicle data company CARFAX, which has found that fall is the top season for accidents in 39 states, beating out winter. Shorter days mean more nighttime driving (and twice the risk of crashes), while wet leaves can turn roads into slip-and-slides, and deer darting out add another hazard. Some states still see their worst crashes in winter or spring, but for most, autumn is the danger zone. The takeaway? Slow down, check your tires and wipers, and maybe toss a survival kit in the trunk before the leaves really start to drop.
