Fatal traffic accidents involving a car, auto, truck, bus, motorcycle or other vehicles are declining in America. That’s the good news. The bad news is that at least 37,000 Americans still die on the USA’s roads and highways each year, and almost all of them die due to persistent and, in some ways, increasing driver errors.

North Carolina notoriously makes the top lists for places to live and work, however it’s also a top danger zone for teens on the road. The Governor’s Highway Safety Association released a report showing that North Carolina is leading the nation with the most car accident deaths of 16-17-year-olds.
