The Most Dangerous Day of the Week to Drive in Michigan

Technically, Michigan drivers put themselves at risk every time that they get behind the wheel of their vehicle but there are some days that are riskier than others.

An insurance company called Assurance recently conducted a study to find the most dangerous days of the week. They looked at specific days of the week and even the most dangerous hours of the day to be on the road.

Assurance sourced fatal car accident data from the National Highway Traffic Administration and looked at factors like the number of licensed drivers and roadway miles in each state.
