A new report from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that 88 percent of young millennials engaged in at least one risky behavior behind the wheel in the past 30 days, earning the top spot of worst behaved U.S. drivers. These dangerous behaviors ― which increase crash risk ― included texting while driving, red-light running and speeding. These findings come as U.S. traffic deaths rose to 35,092 in 2015, an increase of more than 7 percent, the largest single-year increase in five decades.
“Alarmingly, some of the drivers ages 19-24 believe that their dangerous driving behavior is acceptable,” said Lloyd Albert, AAA Northeast Senior Vice President of Public and Government Affairs. “It’s critical that these drivers understand the potentially deadly consequences of engaging in these types of behaviors and that they change their behavior and attitudes in order to reverse the growing number of fatalities on U.S. roads.”
National Security Adviser Michael Flynn resigned from his post Thursday evening. The Middletown, Rhode Island, native and URI alum served in President Donald J. Trump's cabinet for fewer than 24 days.

Imagine not being able to recruit players for a team, and facing off with teams that do recruit their talent. Then imagine beating those teams, going undefeated, and losing your best player to UCLA. What will you do the next year? You probably won’t be able to retain your number one ranking the entire season. That is, unless you are Chino Hills .
