Experts refer to the time between Memorial Day and Labor Day as the “100 deadliest days of summer” because of a consistent increase in teen-related driving events.
According to the National Road Safety Foundation (NRSF), based in New York, teen road fatalities increase by more than 20% over the summer months.

According to the foundation’s news release, 2,100 youths are involved in fatal crashes each year, with 30% — or seven deaths per day — occurring during that 100-day span.
