Why the number 13 was so unlucky, no one will remember now. But the prejudices that 13 is an unlucky number are firmly planted in the minds of citizens. And if the thirteenth falls on a Friday, that’s doubly bad.
If Friday falls on the 13th, then according to statistics, 10-15% more accidents occur on this day than on other Fridays, some scientists say. However, experts in this field are unanimous: the point here is not a magic number, but the people themselves, who set themselves up in a restless way, resulting in the form of critical situations and problems.
In Russia there is no research on how dangerous Friday the 13th is, but there are statistics on the distribution of accidents by day of the week. So indeed, on the roads of the Russian Federation, Friday is the day with the most calamities among other days of the week. On this day more people die and are injured.
