from Stop the Maryland Unsafe Driver by Doug
âIn 2008, there was a total of 95,349 police-reported motor vehicle crashes, or one every five minutes, occurring on Marylandâs roadways and resulting in 48,143 injuries and 592 lives lost. The bigger picture shows that from 1998 to 2008 more than 6,900 people died on Maryland roads, and roughly 640,000 were injured at a cost of more than $45 billion.â
Anyone interested in traffic safety in our state will find this study interesting. Certainly anyone prone to rationalizing their own unsafe driving behavior should read it. The report should be discussed in high schools, by civic groups, homes associations, and by ANY group or organization that sponsors a vanity or professional tag in this state.
