Aug 7, 2024, 8:55 AM | Updated: 10:57 am

Keep the hands on 10 and 2!! Check your blind side and avoid terrible drivers … wait LOL that is impossible in Denver!

Today is supposedly the most dangerous day of the year to drive. A dash-cam company called Nextbase crunched the numbers and found August 7th is the deadliest day on American roadways.

They didn’t explain why a random Wednesday in August is so dangerous.  But it’s based on data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They also did a poll that found 62% of drivers feel like the roads are more dangerous than they were five years ago.

Of those people, two-thirds said distracted driving is the thing they worry about most . . . 19% said other people’s road rage . . . 7% said getting carjacked . . . and 4% said theft or break-ins.

Be CAREFUL!!! With school starting and my brother’s bday today  … I do get nervous!
