Ray Lahood, U.S. Transportation Secretary, had good news to report last week. Early projections for 2009 data indicate that fatalities on U.S. highways have dropped to levels not seen since 1954. Still, 33,963 people died on our highways in 2009. However, that is an 8.9 percent decrease from 2008. The National Traffic Safety Administration credits safety campaigns such as Click It or Ticket and Drunk Driving: Over the Limit, Under Arrest with increasing safe driving habits and reducing the number of fatalities. Maybe we need a new campaign to cut down on distracted drivers - Text and You're Next.
