Where is the public outcry about this situation? More people are killed in one week on our streets and roads than during the entire Iraq situation. Vietnam conflicts experienced fewer fatalities than our transportation system. Both of those prompted protests, marches on the capitol, and frequent media attention. All we are trying to do here is get from Point A to Point B. Seat belts alone will not solve the problem. Drunk driving campaigns will not solve the problem. It is going to take a concerted effort of our entire society to stop accepting traffic deaths as a way of life. Almost half of the work related fatalities are associated with vehicles and traffic. Education, Training, Enforcement, Better Roads, Better Public Transportation are all part of the effort it is going to take. WAKE UP AMERICA!

If the public safety depts would enforce the laws, speed limits, running red lights, etc.; traffic deaths would decline.
How may times on your way to work this am did you see a vehicle go thru a solid red light? Driving a car has become a very frightening event.
Increasing the speed limit could save us money on social security. People are living too long.
