Safety record on highways improves despite more drivers
From a peak of 11.5 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles in 1945 the rate fell to 5.3 in 1960 and 5.1 in the first 11 months of 1961. Russell D. Eberly of American Oil Co notes the drop while registrations rose about 150 percent since WWII as cars and drivers increased from 31 million to over 74 million and 90 million respectively. He says highway travel is now much safer and interstate highways should boost safety further through disciplined driving.
