New research shows teen drivers are three times more likely than adults to be involved in a deadly crash.
The study was released by AAA just as the "100 Deadliest Days" for teens begin. That's the time between Memorial Day and Labor Day when fatal car crashes involving teenagers spike by 15-percent.
Over the past five years, 1,600 people have died in these crashes.
AAA says there's a spike because teens are out of school and on the roads more.
The three most common factors leading to deadly teen crashes: distracted driving, speeding and not wearing a seat belt.
AAA urges every parent or guardian to continue talking to young drivers about safe driving.
