=v= I wonder how much this reflects national trends. (I can
only wonder at this point, though, since national statistics
take a little while to be compiled and published.)
=v= Nationwide, we've gone through some years where total
VMT has been reduced, and right along with that, a dramatic
reduction in deaths and injuries from cars. More recently,
though, and OPEC reduction in the price of oil has resulted
in a sharp increase in VMT, and I would expect crashes to
follow accordingly.

P.S.: There have already been reports of an increase in
purchases of SUVs and other gas-guzzlers. One segment of
the market is jaw-droppingly short-sighted about things.
