6-8-17 aaa teen driver study

todayJune 8, 2017

A Triple-A survey shows new teen drivers,  ages 16 and 17, are three times as likely to be involved in a deadly crash.  This alarming finding comes as the “100 Deadliest Days” begin, the summer months, when the average number of deadly teen driver crashes climb 15 percent compared to the rest of the year.  State AAA spokesman Nick Jarmuscz says teen crashes spike during the summer because teens are out of school and on the road.  Drivers ages 16-17 are 4.5 times as like as drivers age 30-59 to be involved in a crash.
