The Traffic Safety Facts annual report contains exposure data (i.e., vehicle miles traveled, registered vehicles, licensed drivers) and other data points that customarily are not available until later. Instead of withholding the entire report until those data are available, this Early Edition is produced to allow customers access to the statistics that are currently available. This Early Edition does not include the following 2009 data: * Vehicle miles traveled and fatality rates per vehicle miles traveled by State; * Registered vehicles and fatality rates per registered vehicle by State; * Vehicle miles traveled for the various vehicle types (passenger cars, light trucks, motorcycles, large trucks, buses); * Registered vehicles for the following vehicle types: motorcycles, large trucks, buses, and total; *Licensed drivers; * Key provisions of occupant restraint laws. Tables containing these data will be updated in the final edition of the Traffic Safety Facts 2009 annual report. (Author/publisher)
