Annual traffic deaths in the U.S. have fallen to their lowest level in six decades, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Released on Thursday, the figures from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show that highway deaths fell to 32,885 in 2010. That's the lowest figure since 1949 and represents a 2.9 percent drop from 2009 — despite the fact that Americans drove almost 46 billion more miles during the year. Americans collectively drove about 3 trillion miles in 2010.

Another thing to blame Obama for.
You are right , I do blame Obama , nobody can afford to drive , gas prices are high , oil prices are high , cars sales are too high , food is too high , nobody visits fast food or elsewhere. I could go on for an hour , yes Obama is to blame , he is destroying the country with a plan that is apparently working. Lock and Load.
People don't have money to ride around with the high cost of gas,car repairs,police tickets,etc!
mustve been all those text messages they were writing in 1949!
that's great news. Our transportation system could certainly use some more work, but i'll take whatever good news i can get now a days.
