100 Deadliest Days: A Reminder to Stay Safe and Vigilant in Your Summer
Travels
For many Montanans, Memorial Day weekend kicks off the start of summer travel,
culminating with Labor Day weekend. Unfortunately, these summer months can also
be some of the deadliest on Montana’s roads due to increased motor vehicle crashes.
This period is known nationally as the “100 Deadliest Days of Summer,” and
has historically represented an increase in crashes and crash fatalities on ourroadways due to greater traffic volumes and clear travel conditions that lower
drivers’ guards.
Before you make plans to travel this summer, commit to safe, lawful behavior
and remain vigilant in sharing Montana’s roadways with all system users. Neveroperate a motor vehicle while impaired. If you’re driving a vehicle, buckle up
before you go and insist your friends and family do the same. Using your seat
belt is your best defense against serious injury or death in the event you’re in a crash.
