Last week NBC Nightly News reported that in 2010, the U.S. saw the lowest numbers of traffic fatalities since 1949. As a nation, we drove nearly 46 billion miles more in 2010 than we drove in 1949. Despite the increase in miles driven, fewer Americans were killed in car accidents last year because of safer roads, safer vehicles, and safer drivers.
