Summer's Deadliest TimeframeAlso known as the 100 Deadliest Days of Summer, is the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day, which is basically all of summer in North Dakota. People continue to lose their lives on North Dakota roads because of two major reasons: distracted driving and driving while under the influence. According to a story on WDAY-TV, we have had several deaths over the last two weeks in North Dakota roads, where the deceased was not wearing a seatbelt, including one in Bowman County. The trooper went on to say that a seat belt is your first line of defense in an accident situation, followed by airbags. You could be ticketed for failing to buckle up in North Dakota.
