In Florida, March is the deadliest month for teen drivers. Here’s why
ORLANDO, Fla. – The month of March is statistically the deadliest time for teen drivers in Florida, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
With spring break and St. Patrick’s Day, March typically sees a higher number of fatal or serious crashes involving teen drivers, the department said.
According to the FDHSMV, teen drivers have been cited for speeding more than any other infraction since 2015.
Per the most recent state data, here are the top 10 most common citations among teen drivers:
-
Unlawful speed
-
Careless driving
-
Operating a vehicle without proof of insurance
-
Operating a vehicle without a driver’s license
-
Learner license violation
-
Failure to observe stop sign
-
Failure to display driver’s license
-
Failure to obey traffic control device
-
Operating vehicle with defaced, obscured or no tag
-
Seat belt violation
Shortly after March, the “100 Deadly Days of Summer” begins, officials said.
Data shows that the stretch from Memorial Day to Labor Day is the most dangerous time for teen drivers in the U.S., according to AAA and The Florida Safe Teen Driving Coalition.
