Safety advocates highlight top ten safety provisions

After the Ford/Firestone rollovers that resulted in over 271 U.S. deaths, measures were enacted that safety groups believe were a positive step but so far insufficient considering the over 30,000 deaths in rollover crashes since then.

(PRWEB) April 1, 2004 -- After the Ford/Firestone rollovers that resulted in over 271 U.S. deaths, measures were enacted that safety groups believe were a positive step but so far insufficient considering the over 30,000 deaths in rollover crashes since then. Provisions have been pending in the House of Representatives for too long and the safety advocates highlighted ten top legislation and called on Congress to finally pass them.

Vehicle crashes are currently the leading cause of death for Americans between ages of two and 33, with the number of fatalities continuing to increase in recent years. In 2002, a record number of people were killed on the highways, the most since 1990. Of the fatalities, 82 percent were attributed to rollover accidents.
