That's right, in North Dakota, there's something researchers call the "100 Deadliest Days".

According to the National Road Safety Foundation, the 100 days between Memorial Day and Labor Day are hands-down the most deadly.

During these one hundred days, teen car crash fatalities see a dramatic increase.
