Memorial Day may mark the unofficial start of summer, but it also marks a dangerous time of year for young drivers.
For every mile driven, new teen drivers are three times more likely to be involved in a deadly crash compared to adults, AAA said.
“Summer is historically a dangerous time for teen drivers,” said Mark Jenkins, AAA spokesman. “Now that school is out, teens will spend more time on the road, often driving with friends at odd hours of the day and night. Because of their inexperience, teens are more susceptible to dangerous driving behaviors -- like speeding, driving distracted, and not wearing a safety belt.
