Making Our Roads Safer For All Of Us

The latest statistics for road deaths were recently announced showing a reduction in roadway deaths to the lowest number since Kennedy was in office. Much of the credit was given to the economy, since driving miles were down.

Since the 60's, trillions of dollars have been spent on making our vehicles and roads safer. Little has been done to change the way in which new drivers are trained. Yet a study conducted by the government showed that over 70% of vehicle collisions are definitely caused by driver error.

If we really are serious about addressing this issue, the United States must catch up to Europe where driving a vehicle is a privilege, not a right, and driver training is serious business.
