Road Deaths Rise As Driving Rebounds From Gas Crunch
National Safety Council figures show a 6 percent rise in two months of 1975 traffic fatalities from 1974. Spokesman Ron Kuykendall notes mileage has returned to near 1973 levels after last year’s gas shortage, with drivers again using cars more, driving faster, and not prioritizing speed limits. If trends continue, 1975 highway deaths could reach about 49,000, down from 55,000 in 1973 but up from 1974’s toll.
