Correct answer

holiday periods.

According to statistics, most road accidents occur during holiday periods, which are particularly prone to accidents for several reasons: the most dangerous times of day are usually commuting hours, when traffic flow increases and therefore so does the risk of accidents; weekends and public holidays, especially during the early hours, record a greater number of accidents, with more driving under the influence of alcohol or fatigue and a greater volume of traffic; and holidays, particularly Easter, summer and December holidays, are periods in which more accidents occur due to factors such as increased long-distance travel, denser traffic and, sometimes, drivers unfamiliar with specific routes or road conditions.
