Abstract:In 2003, the number of miles driven on Florida's highways increased by 7 billion; however, the mileage death rate decreased from 1.8 deaths per hundred million miles driven in 2002, to 1.7 in 2003. Florida continued to see improvements in traffic safety in 2003, including a 2.9 percent decrease in the number of traffic crashes reported and investigated, and a 3.5 percent decrease in the number of crash-related injuries. Tragically, however, 3,179 lives were lost as a result of traffic crashes. Thirty-five percent of traffic fatalities were alcohol related, and sixty percent of drivers and passengers killed were not wearing seat belts. DSeventy percent of children ages 4 to 17 years old killed in crashes were not using safety equipment.
