It's almost incomprehensible the toll of automobile injury and violence in the U.S when you look at the numbers.
Each year in the U.S. there are over 32,000 deaths due to automobile accidents a year, about 2,700 a month.
This costs the U.S. billions annually including costs for medical care, mental health, emergency transport, police, criminal justice and lost taxes.
When lost productivity, lost quality of life, and pain and suffering are added to medical costs, the annual cost of automobile accidents could be as much as 100 billion dollars.

We should outlaw all vehicles that travel more than 25mph. This would surely reduce injuries and death.
'Sides no one needs to go 26mph anyway. It's unecessary.
Maybe the U.S. Department of Transportation could give all fast moving dangerous vehicles to Mexican drug lords.
An excellent point that I make all the time. If we were serious in America about saving the lives of, especially young adults, people. We would move away from the ubiquitous use of the automobile to something more environmentally friendly and safer.
