Gus Park, a managing director at Direct Line Car Insurance, said: "Towards the end of the week we are often tired, rushing to get home or away for the weekend, and this can lead to people not paying as much attention to the road conditions and their surroundings. British drivers are more likely to have a crash on a Friday , when they are more tired and less attentive to road conditions , according to a study by Direct Line car insurance . It found that there was a 14 % greater than average risk of crashing at the end of the week , with Friday being the most dangerous time of the day . The safest day of the week is Sunday , according to the study , when motorists are 24 % less likely than to be involved in a collision because there are fewer vehicles on the road .
