Iowa Ranks Near Bottom in Highway Safety Program Score
A report by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety places Iowa fifth from the bottom among the 50 states. Iowa scored 883 of 1600 on a U S Department of Transportation based evaluation citing lack of mandatory motorcycle helmet laws, traffic court fee system tied to convictions, and no periodic auto inspections. The new court reform and upcoming sale based inspection law may improve points, but current data show high traffic fatalities and injuries with ample room for improvement.
