The next 100 days may be the most dangerous for your teenage driver.

School is almost out, and many of those teen drivers will be hitting the roads, making the most out of their summer vacation.

If you have one of these teenage drivers, know the statistics.

"From the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day, crashes that involve teen drivers spike," said Matt Nasworthy, Florida public affairs director for AAA Auto Club Group. "They go up about 14 percent (during) the last recorded year we have data for."

That has given AAA reason to brand that time as the "100 deadliest days" for kids age 16 and 17 when they're behind the wheel.

"What happens during the summer is the kids are out of school, they're driving around with their friends," Nasworthy said. "And oddly enough, other teen passengers are more of a distraction than cell phones when it comes to their driving."

When you compare early teen drivers to those over the age of 18, there are dramatic differences.

They are nearly four times more likely to be in a crash. They are just over two and half times more likely to be killed in that crash.

And if that weren't enough, fatal crashes involving those new drivers increased by 10 percent in the past two years.

Moms and dads behind the wheel have a huge roll in how their kids will behave while driving.   

"Your teens are watching you and have been since they were little," Nasworthy said.  "How you're driving, how much you use your phone behind the wheel, how fast you're going, how much you eat or fiddle with the radio, how much you're talking to other people."

"If you make it a priority to stay safe behind the wheel, more than likely, they will," he said.

So for the next 100 days, and every day after that, teach your kids that getting there safely is your top priority.
