TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida Attorney General Ashely Moody is set to provide a warning on Thursday about the upcoming “100 Deadly Days of Summer.”
That refers to the 100 days between Memorial Day and Labor Day, which is nationally considered the most dangerous time for teen drivers.
According to Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, this timeframe typically sees a huge increase in fatal crashes among teen drivers — hence the name.
While Florida’s deadliest month for teen drivers is actually in March — thanks to Spring Break and St. Patrick’s Day — Moody is planning to warn parents about the risks posed to their teens during this 100-day stretch.

FHSMV reports that as of May 5, over 200,000 Florida teens ages 15-19 are driving with a learner’s license.
In a release from Moody’s office, state officials said that Moody will be joined by the following people during her declaration:
Florida Highway Patrol Col. Gary Howze
Florida Department of Transportation Secretary Jared Perdue
Mothers Against Drunk Driving Program Manager Sharon Hall
The news conference is scheduled for 11 a.m. in Land O’ Lakes at the FHP Suncoast Operations Center.
