Automobiles have become icons of American culture. Ever since the first Model T rolled off the assembly line 100 years ago, they have defined our lives. We ride in cars everyday to get to work, to shop or to visit friends and family. The price of gasoline is discussed as much as the weather. Songs have been written about them and played on the radio to our delight. Automobiles have made our society the most mobile in history.

But our love affair with the automobile has an ironic and deadly undercurrent. Car crashes on our nation’s highway have become the leading cause of death for people of every age between 2 and 34. How can that be?

According to the National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NHTSA), an average of 117 people died each day in motor vehicle crashes in 2006 – that makes one every 12 minutes. In 2006 alone, there were an estimated 5.9 million police-reported traffic crashes, in which 42,642 people were killed and 2.6 million people were injured.

You could be the best driver in the world and more sober than a judge, but it’s the other driver that can injure you or wreck your family automobile. NHTSA reports that alcohol-related traffic fatalities rose to 17,602 in 2006 – representing 41 percent of all traffic fatalities for the year.
