*** And Let's Not Forget Motor Vehicle Deaths in the US was 42,795 last year in 2022. Most of these could have been prevented by simply driving slower with curtousity and compassion for others. And of course, no DUI of anything! I mean REALLY, how many people need to die this way before we grow up and watch out for each other?
