As Americans hit the road for holiday travel….the federal government is again warning bad behavior is putting drivers at risk.
Fox News’ Jared Halpern has more from Washington:
Traffic fatalities were down last year about a 0.1%, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration finds the trend reversing this year, deaths estimated to jump about 8%…
(Rosekind) “Chronic safety issues such as drunk driving, speeding, failure to use seat belts and motorcycle helmets continue to cause a high proportion of those deaths.”
NHTSA administrator Mark Rosekind points to stubborn statistics…. A third of fatalities a result of drunk driving crashes, about half of all vehicle occupants killed were not wearing seat belts.
