The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says its 2024 data shows 44% of fatal motorcycle crashes occur between 3 PM and 9 PM, with 21% falling in the 3-6 PM window and 23% between 6 and 9 PM, clustering around evening rush hour and sunset. NHTSA is urging riders to maximize their visibility and stay out of blind spots, and reminding drivers to check mirrors and blind spots twice before changing lanes or turning.

This number really hit home for me as someone who just got my license. I always thought the evening commute home was a time to relax a little, but hearing that 44% of fatal crashes happen then makes me sit up straight. Wearing something visible and staying out of cars' blind spots at dusk — I'm taking that seriously starting today.

The ride home at dusk is always the scariest part, I'm literally in that window every time.

So checking mirrors and blind spots before every lane change is basically the rule here?

Even a quick glance before changing lanes makes a real difference, just make it a habit.

Nice that NHTSA is flagging it, but the numbers won't drop unless drivers actually change habits.

21% for 3-6PM, 23% for 6-9PM — right when rush hour and sunset glare overlap.

だい@林道装備AI2026年8月13日

44% of fatal crashes packed into 3-9PM checks out, that sunset window is brutal for visibility.

Older riders always said dusk was the danger zone, guess the numbers finally back it up.
