Four Behaviors. Nearly 40,000 Deaths. One Preventable Pattern
Data reflects final 2024 fatality counts sourced from NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). Alcohol-impaired driving fatalities reflect crashes involving at least one driver with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 g/dL or higher. Speeding-related fatalities reflect crashes in which speeding was identified as a contributing factor. Distracted driving fatalities reflect NHTSA's official distraction-affected crash count. The unrestrained figure reflects driver fatalities specifically and is expressed as a share of total driver fatalities rather than all traffic fatalities.
