Did you know that over 30,000 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes in the third quarter of 2022 alone? While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) projects this is a slight decrease from the same timeframe in 2021 (0.2%), we have a responsibility to keep our roadways safe and to keep people safe.
