Thanks Newsweek for including NSC Thanksgiving estimates in their new article. Thanksgiving #roadwaysafety continues to improve, with NSC projecting 439 traffic fatalities during the holiday period – down from 502 last year. However, NSC emphasizes that every one of these deaths is preventable, and impaired driving remains a significant concern because alcohol-impaired drivers are involved in 35% of Thanksgiving traffic fatalities – higher than the annual average. #SafetyForAll #JustDrive Read the Newsweek article here: https://lnkd.in/gaQHWpXR.

NSC applauds the U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) release of new female crash test dummy design that addresses the ongoing trend of higher crash injury and fatality rates among women than men. #RoadwaySafety #SafetyForAll The advanced design better represents women’s body types, enabling improved assessment of injury risk for small female occupants and ultimately resulting in more effective safety features in cars. “Women continue to suffer higher rates of crash fatality and serious injury compared to men, despite being less likely to get into fatal crashes than men. This new vehicle crash test device is a breakthrough in efforts to close the safety gap for female vehicle occupants that has persisted for far too long," said Lorraine Martin, CEO of the National Safety Council.
