WHY LIFEBELT?
Last year according to the NHTSA there were 23,000 Fatalities (60 people killed a day) on American roadway's due to unintended lane change crashes. Every 13 minutes, there is a death caused by a motor vehicle accident. There are approximately 3 million car-related injuries per year, 2 million permanent injuries, and 40,000 deaths in the U.S. annually. U.S. Department of Transportation statistics indicate that accidents are generally related to irresponsible driving behavior.
Currently, motor vehicle accidents are the number one killer of people ages 1 to 37, and approximately 1 in 30 young drivers will be injured in an accident each year. Young drivers are four times more likely to die in car accidents and are much more prone to speed, drive recklessly or intoxicated, and not wear their seat belts, than middle-aged drivers; in 2002 alone there were 17,419 alcohol-related motor vehicle fatalities.
