The 3pm Road Rush Study
Youi commissioned research into Australia’s most stressful driving times, finding that 3pm is the peak hour for incidents, school runs and shopping trips. The timely data gave news outlets a relatable angle on the daily afternoon rush, supported by driver experiences and road-safety advice.
Why it worked: It nailed a precise, counterintuitive stat—3pm as peak incident hour—backed by fresh nationwide data and a vivid parent quote, giving editors a timely, relatable peg.
The lesson: Consider commissioning a quick poll to reveal an unexpected peak moment or hotspot, then pair it with one sharp human quote and a simple fix.
