October Leads the Nation, but Speeding, DUI and Pedestrian Deaths Follow Different Calendars Fatal crashes do not follow a single national schedule. While holiday weekends and summer road trips often receive the most attention, a state-by-state analysis by Sweet James found that the most dangerous period for drivers depends heavily on the type of roadway risk involved. Across the United States, 36,297 fatal motor vehicle crashes were recorded in 2024 . October produced the highest national total, with 3,369 fatal crashes , narrowly exceeding August and September.

An analysis by Attorney Brian White found that the true cost of EV ownership depends on far more than the sticker price. Depreciation, collision repairs, charging location, temperature, state registration fees and access to workplace charging c...

However, visitors who take some time to understand the country’s culture before arriving often enjoy a much more meaningful experience. Irish identity has been shaped by centuries of history, regional traditions, language, music and storytelling. Learning a few basic cultural distinctions can help travelers better understand the places they visit and avoid some common misconceptions.

The character of the country can also be found in smaller towns, local museums, traditional pubs, coastal villages and conversations with residents. Even a short detour ...
