September is one of the riskiest months for college and university students on the road. With thousands of young drivers heading back to campus, accident rates often spike:
🎓 Students aged 18-24 are among the most at-risk drivers, and in September, crash rates rise as campuses reopen and traffic around universities increases.
🚘 First-year students are especially vulnerable due to inexperience, stress, and adjusting to new routines.
🍻 Each year, over 1,800 college students die in alcohol-related crashes, with the highest spikes occurring around the start of the school year.
🛑 Distractions like phones, fatigue, and rushing between classes contribute significantly to collisions during September and October.
👉 For parents, this is a crucial time to review auto insurance, life insurance and critical illness coverage and ensure your kids are protected.
