For the first time in many years theres been a steady decline in car deaths. Thats good news. The bad news is that it still hovers around 40,000 deaths a year. The exact decline came to fewer that 1649 less deaths then the previous years. This has been accredited to safer vehicles, & aggressive law enforcement efforts. The Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that over 2 million people was seriously injured in car accidents last year. Also motorcycle fatalities rose for the 10 straight year to 5154. Lets look at this number again. To compare this to airline crashes, you will need at least one B-747 crash per month to equal the amount of people killed in motorcycle accidents in the U.S. alone.
