The National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations 2006 Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest. Labor Day holiday campaign had three main components: 1) DWI enforcement, 2) public awareness efforts, and 3) evaluation. The campaign used the previously successful high visibility enforcement model. Eighteen nights of enforcement focused on apprehending intoxicated drivers.  Forty-eight States reported over 40,000 DWI arrests. National random sample telephone surveys conducted prior to and just after the campaign found that the media effort increased awareness but indicated no self-reported changes in drinking driving behavior.

This study updates a 2004 project sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Indian Highway Safety Program, which developed a methodology to measure and a baseline tribal reservation seat belt use rate. Between September and December 2006, seat belt use was observed on 15 reservations and in March 2007 on one reservation. For the tribal reservations subject to tribal law and tribal traffic law enforcement, excluding the Navajo Nation, the overall seat belt use rate was 61.8%. When results from the 2004 study are compared to the present study, there was a statistically significant increase in seat belt use. There was a very high variation in belt use across reservations, ranging from a low of 27.7% to a high of 87.8%. Nine tribal reservations had primary seat belt laws; in them, 73.1% of vehicle occupants were belted. By comparison, three tribal reservations had secondary belt laws; they averaged 59.3% belt use. For the four tribal reservations with no belt use law of any kind, only 37.2% of the vehicle occupants were belted.

This is the third report volume from NHTSA's large-sample national telephone survey, conducted in 2007, addressing occupant protection issues.  NHTSA has conducted the survey periodically since 1994.  Volume 3 presents the survey results pertaining to air bags.  It explores preferences, perceived utility, and concerns that the public has regarding air bags.
IMPLICATIONS FOR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY:  The report shows broad public support for air bags, and a general awareness that air bags are not a substitute for seat belts.  But the data also suggest that some people are confused about the presence and location of air bags in their vehicles.  Moreover, drivers were less likely to report that their vehicles had warning labels about air bags if the vehicle was purchased used as opposed to new.  These points to gaps in how the public is being informed about air bags.
 

In 2010, 32,885 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes in the United States – the lowest number of fatalities since 1949 (30,246 fatalities in 1949) (see Figure 1). This was a 2.9-percent decline in the number of people killed, from 33,883 in 2009, according to NHTSA’s 2010 Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). In 2010, an estimated 2.24 million people were injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes, compared to 2.22 million in 2009 according to NHTSA’s National Automotive Sampling System (NASS) General Estimates System (GES). This slight increase (1.2% increase) in the estimated number of people injured is not statistically significant from the number of people injured in crashes in 2009.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) is responsible for establishing andenforcing vehicle antitheft regulations. Motor vehicle theft is a growing problem that results in billions of dollars in losses every year. NHTSA has
developed this annual guide to provide the law enforcement community with a concise reference tool to help identify passenger motor vehicles that have been exempted from the parts-marking requirements through model year 2011 and also to assist law enforcement in their prosecution and motor vehicle theft prevention efforts. This new guide provides a quick-reference, comprehensive summary of the vehicles that have been installed with antitheft devices as standard equipment, identifying which vehicles are exempted from the parts-marking requirements, the type of exemption granted (partial or full), and the production year(s) for which the exemption applies.
