September 22, 2016 - Car crashes kill more teens than any other cause, accounting for about 2,800 teen deaths per year. Along with inexperience, the top five dangers teens face are ones that young drivers and their parents know the least about: driving at night, speeding and street racing, distractions, low seat belt use, and alcohol use.
Throughout the school year, the Teens in the Driver Seat team will focus on spreading safety messages that focus solely on traffic safety and these top five dangers.
