These are the most dangerous holidays for drivers:
No. 5: New Year's Eve/Day
Average Vehicular Deaths: 421
Don't let the relatively low rank make you comfortable. Late-night partying and icy roads make a deadly combination.
No. 4: Labor Day Weekend
Average Vehicular Deaths: 488
Be especially vigilant if the holiday falls on Sept. 1 or 2 -- those two days are among the top 10 most dangerous days for driving.
No. 3: Memorial Day Weekend
Average Vehicular Deaths: 493
On Memorial Day weekend, 38 million people hit the streets in search of a warm, out-of-town weekend.
No. 2: Independence Day
Average Vehicular Deaths: 505
Keep an eye out for heavy drinkers who didn't have the good sense to stay home and off the roads.
No. 1: Thanksgiving
Average Vehicular Deaths: 573
AAA's biggest travel holiday of the year saw 623 traffic fatalities in 2006, the most recent year on record.
