          So it is Memorial Weekend and of course who would not be chilling as I am doing right now? Some of us are party people. That is understandable too. Surprisingly,and maybe not so much, Memorial Day though Labor Day is the deadliest days for teenagers. In 2012, nearly 1,000 people were killed in crashes involving teen drivers during the summer. Researchers have also came across the fact that if passengers are with the teenagers, this increases the risks of crashing by 44%. Hence, the reason why more than 40 states have passed laws limiting the passenger number for new drivers.
        I honestly couldn't agree more for this article, I mean we teenagers do tend to go a little bit crazy as summer comes closer and closer. I am a new driver myself so I will especially extra careful about driving. What else? We can all bea little bit more careful about our driving over all.
