The top fatal crash factors include speed, impaired driving, aggressive driving, distracted driving, and not wearing seat belts. Motorists are reminded to follow the speed limit, designate a sober driver, stay calm and do not show displeasure to other drivers, don’t text and drive, and always wear your seat belt. Traffic crashes are avoidable and traffic safety is a shared responsibility.
Our goal: Zero traffic-related deaths and serious injuries by 2030.
