According to The Car Connection car fatalities have been declining in the USA.
We are Numerous factors have contributed to America's steadily falling auto fatality rate. Perhaps most important are the safety features we've seen added to cars: from seatbelts to airbagsdown to around 38,000 a year on average.
Hmmm. I don't consider that number good but it is better. Safety features is a crappy way to look at what is saving us because it prevents us from looking at the bigger picture, the way we drive.
The more I talk about this topic the more frustrating it seems to become and the more I feel I make myself look a bit looney. So, possibly all I can do is just bide my time and wait for the computerized cars to come along.
I don't know but I still know that I do not want myself or my family to ever get crushed in a bunch of metal. I don't want it to happen to you either. I'd rather get eaten by a shark. OK, not really but you get my point.
Drive safe. Pay attention. Your car weighs a lot. Think about how fragile we are and how incredibly powerful the car is. How deadly.
Even if we lower the odds, it's safe to say around 30,000 Americans will die this year in car crashes.
