100 Deadliest Days of Summer
The period between Memorial Day and Labor Day is referred to as the ‘100 Deadliest Days of Summer’ when the “average number of deadly teen driver crashes climbs 15%.” According to the CDC, teen drivers between the ages of 16-19 are three times more likely than drivers 20 and older to be involved in a deadly crash. Set a goal to Drive Alert Arrive Alive by taking 43 Key Seconds before hitting the road: Clear Head, Clear Hands, Clear Eyes and Click your Seatbelt before turning the key. These simple steps can make all the difference in keeping you and your loved ones safe during every journey. Let’s prioritize safety this summer on our roadways as a driver and as a passenger.
