Tax day is to drive prices up to fatal crash

Tuesday 10 April (HealthDay News)-the upcoming income tax application deadline could be to tax in more ways than one for Americans: A new study sets to close that jump fatal accidents on tax day Nike Air Max 90 , may carelessly rushing to the post office as a result of the last-minute filers their output email.
The study lead author, said the research shows that "stressful deadlines for driver distraction and human error cause."
"Almost all of these crashes could have been avoided entirely by a small change in behavior of the driver." "An awareness of this danger could lead to a better road safety," said Dr. Donald A. Redelmeier, Professor of medicine at the University of Toronto.
But others who study transport said it is difficult to understand what the findings as other possibilities, such as for example more cars on the road, mean rather than pay many people to very careful on tours, driving upwards could crash statistics about the large pay Uncle Sam's day.
"The problem with the announcement that has a longer than the normal number of road accidents in one day is that often, if for the higher number of passengers the crash course adapted, not really higher than a typical day weekend", said Tom Vanderbilt, author of the book "traffic: why we do it like we (and what it says about us) to drive Nike Air Max 2011 ."
For the new study, in the April 11 issue a database of all fatal road accidents United States published the journal of the American Medical Association, Redelmeier and a colleague investigated 1980-2009. You felt especially in crashes on the day taxes were due and on the same day of the week and a week later.
During the Federal Government's typical application deadline of April 15, it falls on Tuesday, 17 April this year.
Although the risk of dying on tax day is extremely small, it is slightly higher than on other days. The researchers found an average of 226 fatalities on annual tax day by compared to 213 on the other days. The increased risk is about 6 percent.
Increased risk greatest was younger than 65 for people, so the researchers.
Redelmeier, the number of fatalities special days examining traffic on others, said tax day is about as risky on the streets as Super Bowl Sunday. In 2008, he also reported that fatal accidents are more likely during the election period on presidential election days, compared to other Tuesdays at the same time.
He said, he thinks stress is the accelerator here. "It is not only on tax increases to keep, but possibly also for other clearly stressful times, like when there is a divorce or something go wrong with your child or you have just your job lost hold", he said.
Chandra Bhat, Professor of traffic engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, threw questions about the study. For one thing, he, the study, said that persons under 18 in more fatal accidents on tax day are involved. It is not clear whether they passengers or drivers are, said he, adding that, if they are drivers, it is on unlikely, that which is crash increase the tax period is related to.
"Road accidents are that a period of a day of observation can not sufficient to make conclusive observations such events is quite rare," warned Bhat. "While I appreciate that followed the analysis design by the authors is quite good and that the authors have considered several years in their analysis, I would be somewhat wary of tow conclusions."
Because no account of factors such as sleep deprivation, the study recommend the authors further investigations, which ultimately would efforts to prevent beef set.
For now, they said drivers should be pointed out, belts Nike Air Max , drive the specified speed limits and avoid alcohol, be on 17 April.
