Thank you for the links. There's a link to a great book in there: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Road-Accidents-Prevent-J-J-Leeming/dp/1897856296 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Road-Accidents-Prevent-J-J-Leeming/d... As a motorcycle driver I know I drive a lot more devensive when I'm on two wheels.

I think this is a better link to prove it's wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motor_vehicle_deaths_in_U.S._by_year http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motor_vehicle_deaths_in... Deaths in 1980: 51,091 Deaths in 2011: 32,367 And that's w/ 90m more people, and nearly double the number of miles driven. Clearly safety improvements DO work.
