Traffic **accidents** are more frequent on **leisure trips during the summer months**. This is due to several factors:

- **Times of the year with more accidents**: The summer months, along with Easter and December, are the times when the most accidents are recorded. During the summer, there is an increase in leisure travel, which raises the risk of accidents.

- **Distractions and weekend trips**: Accidents due to distractions are more common in the summer months and during weekend trips. These journeys are usually for leisure, which coincides with the increase in accidents during this period.

- **Roads outside cities**: Most fatal accidents occur on roads outside urban areas, which are frequently used for leisure trips.

- **Weekends and holidays**: There is an increase in accidents during weekends and holidays, especially in the early morning hours, which are typical times for leisure activities.

In summary, leisure trips in summer present a higher risk of accidents due to the combination of a greater number of trips, distractions, and the use of interurban roads.
