Summer is a favorite season for many people, but students in particular have reason to find it especially enjoyable. With school being out for 3 months and warm summer temperatures, most teens are spending their days driving to somewhere like the beach or to a friends house. With the increase of teens on the road summertime fatal accident numbers jump to staggering heights.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s data shows that summer months are the most dangerous for teens.
On average, 422 teens nationwide are killed in car wrecks during the summer months, which is an average of 140/month for the 3 months of summer break. That number is shocking given that only 363 teens die in car accidents during the other nine months of the year, which equates to an average 40 teens each month. During those summer vacations an additional 100 teens are involved in fatal accidents.
The reasons why are not difficult to determine — teens often stay out later in the summer and are more often traveling in groups. Moreover, teens are considerably less experienced drivers than adults. In more recent years, the danger has been compounded by young people’s cell phone use while driving, and last year marked the first increase in teen driving deaths after eight years of declines.
