Accidents on our Nation's roads are a serious
threat to traveling.
They are the leading cause of death for those
under the age of thirty-five.
Over 40,000 people are killed annually in
approximately five million motor vehicle
accidents, many involving teen car accidents.
In 2003 alone, nearly 43,000 people died in
highway accidents nationwide.
That equals to over 115 fatalities per day.
The economic costs of these accidents is
staggering, over $150 billion per year.
Unfortunately, during your lifetime you are likely
to be involved in at least one auto accident.
