The "100 Deadliest Days" Begin For Teen Drivers

Startling new research by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety reveals the disturbing behaviors behind distracted driving among young drivers. Usually, AAA refers to the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day as the "summer driving season," but now, it’s giving it a much more ominous name - the "100 Deadliest Days." During the summer months, more teenagers are on the road and the number of deaths from crashes involving teen drivers soars to an average of 10 every day -- 16 percent higher than the rest of the year. Working with the University of Iowa, AAA studied teen drivers over the past eight years, using dashboard cameras and documenting more than 2,200 moderate to severe collisions.
