Yesterday I wrote about Electronic Stability Control and how Consumer Reports calls it the greatest safety advance since seat belts.

Last night I read a Wall Street Journal article entitled “Unsafe at Any Speed, With Any Driver, On Any Kind of Road.”  It is a fascinating look back at how lax safety standards used to be.  Every yea, about 42,000 people die in automobile-related accidents in the U.S.  In 1930, when there was only about a tenth of the cars on the road as there are now, more than 31,000 people in the U.S. were killed by cars.  “The automobile is here to slay,” said one newspaper.

Think about this, if 30,000 people a year have died since 1930, how many have died in total since the almost 80 years that have elapsed : 30,000 * 80 = 2.4 million!

What Our Clients Say

I needed an attorney to help me settle my personal injury case. I found Andrew Traub and his firm on Yelp and due to his reviews, called him and made an appointment. From the first appointment Andrew and his staff treated me with the utmost respect. They are straight forward, honest, and transparent. And, Andrew is quite skilled at what he does. He will not disappoint. I highly recommend him and his firm for any personal injury case. A++++++++++++++++
