Notice that, according to this survey, the highest risk activity is talking to other passengers? So they could be proactive and pull over every car that had more than one person in it...then it'd be WAY safer to drive right...


"According to statistics, auto racing accidents have claimed the lives of 345 people since 1990." From this lawyer's site:

"Nearly 43,000 people died in car accidents in 2002." From car-accidents.net


Real efficient use of LE time and money huh...



And one well written study to boot:

0.21% of fatal accidents...but it warrents a nation wide LE program...
