Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / September 2007U.S. Traffic Deaths Fall to Five Year Low
And the credit for this goes to internet users like myself who have made americans realize that reckless drivers are killers and maimers and should not be coddled. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,290480,00.html U.S. Traffic Deaths Fall to Five Year Low Monday, July 23, 2007 ST. LOUIS — Traffic deaths in the United States fell to their lowest level in five years in 2006, and a federal agency credited strong law enforcement and vehicle safety features as important factors in the decline. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said 42,642 people were killed in highway crashes last year, a drop from the 43,510 in 2005. "To me, that is 868 families that didn't get the terrible call that a loved one was killed in a motor vehicle accident," said the agency's administrator, Nicole Nason. She released the annual findings at the 33rd International Forum on Traffic Records and Highway Safety Systems in St. Louis. Her announcement was met with applause from the audience members from around the country, who record traffic data.

There's lots of us out there saying that criminal drivers like you are killers. I predict within a few years speeders will be equated with child molesters, as they should be.

In fact, the speed limit actually went UP in places like Texas. I'm actually shocked that you would draw attention to the fact that you were DEAD WRONG - *again*! BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

Speed limits have risen and average traffic speeds have risen as well, and nothing that you've been calling for has actually occurred (IOW, not only are there not tough jail sentences for speeders, there are NO jail sentences for speeders, so your campaign has accomplished nothing), therefore not only can you *not* claim credit for lower fatalities since your platform hasn't been put into practice, but the opposite of what you call for has occurred, yet fatalities have fallen. It seems that doing the opposite of what you advicate would actually cut fatalities.

They're more a matter of improving automobile crash survival technology, better highway design and improvements in emergency trauma care technology. -- Walt Smith Firelock on DALNet On Jul 24, 11:09 am, firelock...@hotmail.com wrote: > On Jul 24, 11:53 am, "k_fl...@lycos.com" <k_fl...@lycos.com> wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > survival technology, better highway design and > improvements in emergency trauma care technology. Thank you! Exactly as I pointed out, the OP's claim that his call for jailing of speeders had nothing at all to do with it. Speeds and speed limits are up, not down. > On Jul 24, 11:53 am, "k_fl...@lycos.com" <k_fl...@lycos.com> wrote: > > On Jul 24, 9:15 am, Speeders & Drunk Drivers are MURDERERS [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > survival technology, better highway design and > improvements in emergency trauma care technology.

True. Older cars without air bags are replaced with cars with air bags. More motorists wear their seat belts. More aggressive enforcement and education against bad driving, including DWI. Roads are always being upgraded with various crash prevention and crash survival technology. For instance, on I-95 a cable barrier was added to a wide grassy median strip. Already stopped a few cars from crossing over. An old 1950s overcrowded expressway is rebuilt with decent merge ramps and the like.

CT Pre-NMSL(Nixon Memorial Speed Limit)limit: 60 MPH; post NMSL-65 MPH, NJ likewise. TX statutory limit pre-NMSL was 70 statewide. There are now 75 and 80MPH zones.

Today cars are much safer and we have better tools (cell phones) and better and quicker medical care than we did during the Nixon years. I too am tired of how we coddle people who maim and kill with their cars. If I stand by the side of the road and fire a rifle indiscriminantly and I kill, I'll be charged with murder. However I get liquored up and drive and same highway, kill the same person, it's a "whoopsies", I get a slap on the wrist and my license back. - -- John Mayson <john@mayson.us> Austin, Texas, USA Speeders & Drunk Drivers are MURDERERS <xeton2001@yahoo.com> said in rec.autos.driving: >And the credit for this goes to internet users like myself who have made >americans realize that reckless drivers are killers and maimers and >should not be coddled.
