Traffic

According to the Department of Transportation, Americans are driving more miles with fewer accidents. Traffic fatalities fell 9.7%, according to last year's statistics. With over 30,000 deaths recorded in 2009 though, keeping safe on the roads is still a big priority. Remember to always wear your seat-belt and stay alert when you get behind the wheel.
