Only you can prevent traffic accidents in Iowa
Iowa Highway Patrol Chief Ted Mikesch urged motorists to drive with care and maintain vehicles to cut accidents. He blamed human errors as causing most crashes and stressed driver responsibility for all on the road. He noted speed, improper passing, and following distance as key factors and urged training for teens and parental guidance. The message came as Iowa records 830 highway deaths last year and 355 so far this year, with potential reduction if drivers act responsibly.
