Data/Facts

1 out of 3 fatal crashes from 2003 to 2007 involved a speeding driver.
1 in 10 involved a driver who failed to yield the right of way.
56% of fatal crashes are associated with speeding, failure to yield the right of way, recklessness, carelessness.
To be truly safe, drivers must discard notions that:
- they can safely perform unsafe behaviors because of their above average skills
- they must stop simply “blaming the other guy."
