Traffic deaths at lowest in 60 years
Great news but still a long ways to go. Reckless driving is by far the biggest crime problem in america. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/...ths09_ST_N.htm Traffic deaths at lowest in 60 years Updated 4h 38m ago | Comments 90 | Recommend 7 E-mail | Save | Print | Reprints & Permissions | Source: U.S. Department of Transportation By Larry Copeland, USA TODAY Traffic deaths in the USA are at a 60-year low despite a slight uptick in miles driven, and the chances of dying on the road are the lowest ever, the Department of Transportation says. The number of people who died on the nation's roads fell 3,615, or 9.7%, from 2008 to 33,808 last year, the latest available data from the department. That was the lowest total since 33,186 people were killed in 1950, when there were one-fifth the number of vehicles on the road than today. "This is unprecedented, historic progress," says Barbara Harsha, executive director of the Governors Highway Safety Association, which has traffic safety offices in the states. Harsha attributes the decline in deaths to a number of safety-related factors, including increased seat belt use, stronger enforcement of drunken-driving laws, improved roads, safer vehicles and better coordination in the states. The motor vehicle fatality rate — the number of deaths per 100 million miles traveled — is the lowest ever: 1.13 deaths in 2009, down from 1.26 in 2008, DOT says, even as Americans were driving 0.2% more than in 2008. |

Brilliant "argument". I love watching you go ballistic. I don't waste time with nazi scum. People are calling for kicking out muslims and that's fine with me but the Jooz are worse. They have their own country, Israel, and that's where their allegiance lies. To a joo, america is just a tool for helping israel. Drunk in > -- Ray Fischer |
