Safer Driver Series
For most of us, driving a motor vehicle is the most dangerous undertaking of our
lives.
Statistically we have a 70 times greater chance of dying during any motor vehicle
trip than during a commercial airline flight.
In 2011 there were 32,367 motor vehicle
fatalities in the United States. This
represents a 2% decrease over 2010.
Despite improvements, it still means that
someone dies in a motor vehicle collision
every 16 minutes in the US.
By the time you have completed this training module
two more people will be killed in motor vehicle
collisions.
