    How Often Do Car Accidents Happen in Chicago?

    According to the data, there is a car accident in Chicago every six minutes, which is ten accidents every hour or 240 per day. This data was gathered over a five-year period, so the reliability of the information is viable. What does that look like statewide? In 2018, there were 319,146 car accidents in Illinois. As auto accident attorneys, we do see the devastation caused by this high number of crashes day-in and day-out.

    About Chicago Traffic

    Traffic in Chicago is the 149th worst in the world, according to GPS gear maker TomTom. They also report that:

    • Chicago’s congestion level is 24%, up 7% from 2020
    • Friday between 4:00 to 5:00 pm is the worst traffic of the entire week in Chicago, which is probably not a shock to anyone
    • February 15th was the worst traffic day of 2021 on Chicago roadways, with almost a 60% congestion rate
    • The average Chicago driver loses 86 hours per year stuck in traffic (that’s 3 days and 14 hours)
    • In 2021, the average Chicago commute got 4 minutes longer
    • Waiting until after 5:00 pm to travel on Fridays in Chicago could save you an hour annually because most commuters try to beat the rush by leaving early (instead of going late)
    • The Chicago evening commute is twice as bad as the morning one—the evening congestion rate is 27% (it turns a 30-minute trip into a 38-minute trip) while the evening one is 47% (it turns a 30-minute trip into a 44-minute trip)

    How Chicago Road & Traffic Conditions Contribute to Accidents

    In addition to overwhelming and relentless traffic, rain is a huge contributor to the volume of car accidents that happen in Chicago. It is actually statistically more dangerous than snow, wind, or ice, according to the data. Because of that, the fall (October in particular) is when the highest number of car crashes occur in Chicago—not winter. Even more surprising is that the vast majority of auto accidents happened on clear, dry days.

    How Serious Are Chicago Car Accidents?

    Unfortunately, fatal car crashes in Chicago are growing. Some believe the growing popularity of rideshare apps is to blame, as Chicago’s increase is mirrored in cities around the US. Others point the finger at distracted drivers using their phones, operating onboard DVD players, and studying GPS maps while driving. Others blame Covid, rationalizing the less crowded roadways have encouraged more speeding and careless driving. Now that you have a full picture of Chicago’s traffic situation, here is what the auto accident picture looks like:

    • In just the city of Chicago alone, there were 118,304 auto accidents in 2018. One-hundred and twenty-three of those left at least one motorist dead and 21,881 injured.
    • The Chicago Department of Transportation has observed an alarming increase in the number of motorists speeding recently as well. It’s no surprise that increased traffic congestion leads to more speeding. 
    • In Cook County alone, there were 269 deadly crashes in 2018 and even more the following year.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
