In our daily lives we walk, and perhaps even run, but
few of us believe that we could make the Olympic track
team tomorrow. Somehow though, we think we inherit superb
driving skills without ever having to consider what were
doing.

Traffic Safety Association
- Las year in the United States 43,443 people were
killed in automobile crashes
- Speeding was a factor in over 30% of these crashes
- Total damages were over 230 BILLION DOLLARS

for people between the ages of 4 – 34

drivers but are involved in 12.6% of fatal crashes
