Abstract

From 1980 to 1983, United States traffic dropped 17%, from 51091 to an estimated 42.600. Although there are no clear explanations for this abrupt decline, the major reasons suggested all involve some behavioral change. This paper describes the fatality changes briefly, investigates several potential causes, and discusses what must be done to provide more conclusive answers.
