WORKING TOGETHER TO KEEP OUR STUDENTS SAFE
THE 100 DEADLIEST DAYS FOR TEEN DRIVERS
It’s a sad irony: Summer – the season teens love most – is also the most dangerous behind the wheel. Teen-driver accidents climb 16% between Memorial Day and Labor Day, compared with other days of the year.
The biggest culprit is not phones. More teen deaths are attributed to teen passengers.
According to a AAA study entitled Teen Driver Risk in Relation to Age and Number of Passengers:
Just one teen passenger increases the chance of a fatal crash by 44%.
Two passengers increase that chance by 88%.
Three or more passengers increase that chance by 176%
Please… Talk with your teen about cutting car chaos, and set limits on driving with friends.
Your WTSEA board of directors wishes you and your teen a safe and worry-free summer.
