ORLANDO, Fla. — Researchers say summertime puts more teen drivers at risk for serious car crashes.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have found that deadly car crashes involving younger drivers spike by 30% during the summer months.
This period, spanning between Memorial Day and Labor Day, presents a heightened risk for teen motorists.
Teens ages 16 to 19 experience a fatal crash rate nearly three times higher than drivers 20 and older.
This seasonal increase underscores a significant concern for road safety.
To help reduce these risks, parents are advised to observe their teenager’s driving habits.
