Traffic Safety
Minnesotans For Safe Driving want
to change the mindset in Minnesota regarding non-alcohol
related crashes caused by speeding, aggressive driving,
and inattentive driving. These crashes should not be referred
to as ACCIDENTS they should be considered
CRASHES that were caused by failure to obey
the traffic laws, not an unforeseen event which is the
definition of an accident
The fatality rate from crashes
in Minnesota and across the nation is increasing at an
alarming rate. Crash numbers are down but deaths are up
which leads us to believe that crashes are the result
of higher speeds and more aggressive driving; even though
cars are safer today and seat belt use is at its all time
high (80%) REMEMBER, THE MOST LIKELY SITUATION TO ENDANGER
YOUR LIFE IS DRIVING ON THE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS YOU FREQUENT
DAILY.
