And another couple scary stats, almost 45 percent of all crash deaths among teenagers occur between 9pm and 6am, so nighttime driving and almost half, a full 50 percent, occur on Friday, Saturday or Sundays.”And believe it or not…some recent stats show 56 percent of young vehicle fatality victims were not wearing seatbelts.
