Leading cause of death for teens and tweens -- teen drivers

CHICAGO - Car crashes are the leading cause of death for tweens and teens, and a new study outlines some of the most dangerous circumstances: riding unbuckled with new teen drivers on high-speed roads.
These were the three biggest risk factors contributing to car crash deaths for passengers aged 8 to 17, the study found.
While young drivers have higher chances of dying, the six-year study focused on nearly 10,000 children passengers who were killed in car crashes. More than half, 54 percent, were riding with a teen driver. Drivers younger than 16 were the most dangerous.
I am speechless it took this long for some idiots who are probably being paid by tax dollars, but it took them this long to figure it out... I'm at awe here.
