Episode Details

Memorial Day marks the start of summer’s deadliest stretch for teen drivers — a 100-day window when fatal crashes spike dramatically. Teens, still learning to drive, are 20% more likely to be in deadly collisions from May through September. With school out, they’re behind the wheel more often, at night, and with friends — a recipe for distraction and danger. Car crashes lead all causes of death for American teens, and while national data paints a grim picture, local hotspots and enforcement plans remain unclear. Seat belts slash crash deaths by 45%, while drowsy driving causes 100,000 incidents yearly. Parents must have honest conversations: always buckle up, keep distance, obey speed limits, get rest, and never drive impaired.
