Highway Safety Advocates * USA - Call for Improvement in State Statutes
USA -National Underwriter (Property & Casualty - Risk & Benefits Management Edition), by Mark E. Ruquet-12 Jan 2009: -- According to the "2009 Roadmap to State Highway Safety Laws" report from the Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, a number of jurisdictions have failed to implement proven safety laws. The coalition of insurance, consumer, health, safety, and law enforcement groups recommends the federal government withhold funding from states until proven safety laws are in place. Many of the laws relate to teen driving, drunk driving, and the use of seat belts, child booster seats, and motorcycle helmets, and the group says no state has enacted all 15 proven safety laws. Among the worst states listed in the report were Arkansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming because they have less than seven of the laws enacted. Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department Chief Patrick Burke said, "Model safety laws should be consistent across our jurisdictional boundaries."
