1374 Good news from the back seat

In 1996 federal auto safety officials recommended that all children younger than 13 be seated in the back of automobiles to keep them from harm's way if an air bag deployed. This simple recommendation has cut the death toll in that age group by 20%. USAToday story.

Imagine the lives we could save if we would re-instate the 55 mph speed limit, stop using cell phones while driving, and apply our make-up and eat breakfast at home.
