DETROIT (AP) — The number of U.S. traffic deaths in the first half of 2021 hit 20,160, the highest first-half total since 2006, the government reported Thursday.
The estimated number was 18.4% higher than the first half of last year, prompting Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to call the increase an unacceptable crisis.
The department, which includes the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, announced that it will develop a national strategy for steps to save lives on the roads.
““We cannot and should not accept these fatalities as simply a part of everyday life in America,” Buttigieg said in a statement Thursday. “No one will accomplish this alone. It will take all levels of government, industries, advocates, engineers and communities across the country working together toward the day when family members no longer have to say good-bye to loved ones because of a traffic crash.”

Well, legalized pot is becoming more and more common as more states make it just like alcohol. Why is anyone surprised?
And more ILLEGALS on our roads.
Will be part of Covid deaths
How?
The roads in the San Francisco Bay Area were barren...
The inflation spike will cause many to forgo vehicle maintenance and parts replacement (including tires, brakes, fluids, etc.), which will lead to even more road accidents.
Sounds like a ploy they intend to use to try and limit our driving, for climate change ya know. I bet they will make air travel much more expensive too, so the plebes will no longer be able to afford it. Certain things will only be available to the ‘important’ people.
“working together toward the day when family members no longer have to say good-bye to loved ones because of a traffic crash”
I guess he’s going to ban automobiles then. That’s the only way you’ll ever get to zero crashes.
Slow your roll Reefer Madness, maybe people have started drinking too much alcohol from isolation induced loneliness.
I would chalk this up to people driving so much less during idiotic lockdowns that when they do get in the car they are rusty and make more mistakes. That or it is the 1.5 million newly arrived illegal aliens Creepy Joe Biden opened the border for.
It’s probably partially caused by the ‘vaccinations’.
In the CDC’s vaccine adverse event database, VAERS, there were many cases of cerebrovascular accident. Basically it appears that the clotting caused by the ‘vaccines’ clears by the time you get the patient to the med center for a diagnostic scan. So the damage of a stroke is present, but no stable clot can be found.
I recall thinking the number of ‘family member found on floor’ notes were made in patient records post ‘vaccination’ according to the CDC’s VAERS database.
I have seen a video of a woman in a car with her two children parked beside a freeway, and having a post Covid ‘vaccination’ seizure while lying back at an angle, listening to her young son talk to 911.
Then the ‘vaccines’ cause microclotting and heart attacks.
ALso, there are rumors of 2 specific instances where pilots have had seizures/died post vaccine while flying airliners. NO names given, and on that Internet site a comment was posted saying Pete Buttigieg had made in-flight illness of Pilots classified information.
Supply chain is not a crisis. We must bad cars.
I have zero doubt it is connected to COVID Hysteria.
Buttplug sez, “We cannot and should not accept these fatalities as simply a part of everyday life in America... No one will accomplish this alone. It will take all levels of government, industries, advocates, engineers and communities across the country working together toward the day when family members no longer have to say good-bye to loved ones because of a traffic crash.”
In other words, this is how a queer fag says nothing.
Make flying into a menacing world of masks, fights on planes, aircrews with bad attitudes, etc. Packed planes so they can cut daily flights. Hard pressed cops afraid to stop a car lest a black be driving to the roads are left unpatrolled.
And naturally, people opt to drive which exposes them to way more risk.
More government murder.
Wait. Didn’t the CDC say your chances of dying from anything after you take the jab goes down to 0%?
No, they just want to eliminate reliable gasoline autos.
“EVs” and variants are welcome.
Remember the other year when “self-driving” was all the rage - and then, so was how many accidents were happening? What happened to that? Did people already abandon that stupid idea or was it just overshadowed by COVID Hysteria?
Over crowding. Our little town is sooo crowded now. Cars everywhere...packed in town. Where are the people coming from?
“Sounds like a ploy they intend to use to try and limit our driving, for climate change ya know. I bet they will make air travel much more expensive too, so the plebes will no longer be able to afford it. Certain things will only be available to the ‘important’ people.”
I agree with you. An 18% spike in road deaths makes no sense. They’ve had to cook the books on this in order to try and justify another crazy lefty policy to control another freedom.
I have been noticing a lot more accidents and people doing stupid things on the road lately.
