Driving is dangerous

For almost a year, the Boston Globe has been studying deaths from car accidents in the U.S. The numbers are pretty sad:

36,000 are killed annually in the US from motor vehicle crashes — nearly 100 per day.

10% of drivers have convictions that don’t appear on their records.

There are 20,000,000 unaccounted-for offenders who remain licensed drivers in the US today.

One of the major problems we have is that states do not communicate with each other relative to drivers with problems. So, for example, if your license is suspended in Wisconsin, you could go to Illinois and get a license which enables you to drive in Wisconsin.

There is a good video elaborating on this issue. But it can't be copied.
