Statistics show that Virginia drivers should be deeply concerned for their safety. According to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, car accident fatalities in Virginia reached a sixteen year high in 2006, with over 1000 drivers and passengers losing their lives on Virginia roads and highways.

More than half of vehicle accident injuries were caused by preventable mistakes and errors, with inattention, following too closely, failing to yield, and speeding topping the list of car accident causes.

With the increased power and speed of newer vehicles, the severity of injuries resulting from road and highway accidents makes it the number one cause of brain injury and spinal cord injury today.
