Friday the 13th - a menace on the roads
Business may suffer as Friday the 13th claims more accidents – and therefore hold-ups – than any other day.
It’s the day all those superstitious souls amongst us take that extra bit of care on the roads – or so you’d think! According to claims data from Norwich Union, Friday the 13th is the unluckiest day for motorists with more accidents occurring on this day than any other.
The insurer researched claims over a five-year period, during which time there were six Friday the 13ths, and discovered that the number of claims on these days was significantly higher (a spooky 13%) when compared to other days of the month. Conversely, all other “13th s” had less than the average number of claims.
