New York teenager drivers at high risk of accident during summer

Every mile driven by an adult, a teenager driver 16 to 19 years old is four times more likely to get into a car accident, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And while any time of year can be dangerous on the road, teens are much more likely to be involved in an auto accident during the summer. A recent study by AAA of accident data found that more deadly auto accidents involving teenage drivers happen between Memorial Day and Labor Day than any other time of year.
