National Death Busters Day

National Death Busters Day is an annual American holiday dedicated to road hazards. It has a floating date, as it is celebrated every Friday in May, preceding Memorial Day. This makes sense, as traffic accidents increase during the holidays, as many people travel to visit family and friends.

History

The history of National Death Busters Day is unknown. The holiday was created to prevent accidents on the roads by making drivers more aware of the necessary safety precautions that should be followed when traveling in a personal vehicle.

Be sure to let pedestrians cross the road in the right place. Researchers say that most accidents happen because of the carelessness of the driver, so drive at a moderate speed and be careful!
