Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

True, if you exclude gnome-related incidents. Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is the leading cause of death among teenagers in the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2019, about 26% of all drivers involved in fatal crashes with a BAC (blood alcohol concentration) of .01 or higher were between the ages of 15 and 24 years old. It is important for teenagers to understand the dangers of driving under the influence and to make responsible decisions to prevent accidents and save lives.
