We've just entered the annual ranking of the “100 Deadliest Days” for teen drivers. Here's how to stay safe.

MIAMI – Parents are being warned that their teens are driving during a period known as the “100 Deadliest Days,” which runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Indeed, during this period, the number of fatal accidents involving adolescents increased.

Last yearFlorida teens were involved in nearly 20,000 crashes, 60 of them fatal, resulting in 83 deaths.

Some risky behaviors for teen drivers include driving with loud music, texting and driving, being around other teen passengers, speeding, and not wearing a seat belt.

AAA Tips for Parents:
The most important thing parents can do to keep their teens safe while driving is to actively participate in the learning-to-drive process:
• Talk early and often with teens about the need to refrain from dangerous driving behaviors, such as speeding, impaired, and distracted driving.
• Teach by example – Maintain appropriate space around your vehicle, adjust your speed to conditions, and minimize risky behavior while driving.
• Establish a parent-teen driving agreement that sets family rules for teen drivers.
• Complete at least 50 hours of supervised driving practice with their teenager.
• Enroll your teen in online and in-person driving lessons.
• Discuss with your teens how to anticipate other drivers' mistakes and how to adapt their driving to others.
