The Nut Behind The Wheel Is, Sadly, Still Behind The Wheel

We have found the most defective component of the automobile. It is us, the drivers.
A study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shows a need to work on the human side of highway crashes. I am not quite ready to say Cars don't kill people; people do. But, plain foolishness behind the wheel has to stop.
Cars are becoming safer, but the people who drive them are not, an insurance industry research group has found..Absent safety improvements such as air bags, the highway death toll would rise by about 5,000 people - a more than 11 percent increase over 2005, according to the study.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety said drunken-driving rates did not change much in the 10 years studied, seat belt use has climbed only slowly and people are driving faster.
"We have lost focus on the human behavior side," said Adrian Lund, an author of the study, which examined the period from 1994 to 2004
