I am surprised at the data with the increasing amount of cell phone usage and texting, however I have noticed that in all traffic incidents I have witnessed over the last 2 years that all vehicles were newer models(better safety features) and people are buckling up. Last month I was the first responder on the scene of a 5 car pile up on an expressway at 70+ MPH. No one was killed, all 7 people in front seats involved were buckled up. There was one child in the rear of a vehicle not wearing seat belt, but she was not seriously injured. I also think that the median barriers (cable)will reduce fatal collisions significantly on expressways. Great Information.
