Fatal Friday Syndrome
Figures highlighted by the Scottish Safety Camera Partnership suggested car accidents increased by nearly one-fifth on Friday afternoons
The good ol’ beeb reports:
Figures highlighted by the Scottish Safety Camera Partnership suggested [car] accidents increased by nearly one-fifth on Friday afternoons.
Apparently it’s going to become known as Fatal Friday Syndrome, and is attributed to “drivers switching off and speeding home after a long and tiring week at work”
Fatal Friday is said to be a world-wide phenomenon, with countries like America and New Zealand reporting similar findings.
Hmm, I think I’ll stick to the bike trails this afternoon…
