Report Gives Washington High Marks For Roadway Safety
Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety released its annual report yesterday on the progress state governments have made in keeping our roadways safe. Collisions killed nearly 33,000 people last year in the U.S. and injured more than 2 million.
The report gave a rating to each state based on 15 laws and how many they were able to implement from seat belts to all driver texting bans. Washington was put in the highest category, Idaho was in the middle and Montana was one of the worst.
Here's the report if you'd like to read it.
