The NTSB believes that not only should more automakers offer collision avoidance technologies as standard features in their vehicles, but that consumers should not have to purchase a luxury option package to get the safety benefits of these technologies. []
Saving lives and reducing injuries from crashes depends on the broad deployment of these technologies in all new passenger and commercial vehicles.
we called for a driver ban for all PEDs. We have issued similar recommendations for aviation, marine, and rail. The public agrees. In June 2014, the National Safety Council reported that 73 percent of drivers think that more enforcement of texting laws is needed.
When it comes to alcohol use, we know that impairment begins before a person’s BAC reaches 0.08 percent, the current legal limit in the United States. In fact, by the time it reaches that level, the risk of a fatal crash has more than doubled. That is why states should lower BAC levels to 0.05— or even lower.
In order to increase seat belt and child restraint use in motor vehicles, we must take a three-pronged approach: legislation, enforcement, and education. Strong occupant restraint laws are critical. Primary enforcement sends a message to motorists that seat belt use is an important safety issue.
