Driving in a downpour carries obvious risks, but a new study highlights how even light precipitation can increase the dangers of driving.
Inside Science) --
The researchers analyzed past radar data to identify what the weather was at the recorded time and location of 193,840 reported fatal crashes from across the U.S. for 2006 through 2011. The radar data helped them better determine the actual weather conditions during the crashes than previous studies, which mostly relied on police reports or station-based measurements that are often unable to account for the wide variation of weather over short distances and time periods.
These relative risks reflect the increase of the chances of a crash during precipitation versus during dry weather. Based on U.S. Department of Transportation data from 2017, for the entire U.S. there were about 116 deaths per 100 million miles driven, including alcohol-related crashes and crashes in all weather conditions.
