  • Abstract:
    The 1992 traffic fatality count was 1,300, down 8.8 percent from the 1991 figure of

    1,425. Compared with 1991, injuries were down 12.6 percent and total crashes

    were down 5.5 percent. These figures translated into a death rate of 1.5 per 100

    million miles of travel, down 11.8 percent from the death rate of 1.7 reported in

    1991.

    Exposure factors in 1992 showed across the board increases. They included motor

    vehicle registrations up 1.1 percent to 7.41 million; vehicle travel mileage up 2.5

    percent to 84.0 billion; and the number of licensed drivers up 2.3 percent to 7.78

    million.

    Substantial reductions in total reported crashes and increased travel were credited

    with the lowered death toll and rate in 1992. Restraint usage continues to be

    elusive and reads like fact and fiction: While direct observation studies report an

    approximate 57.0 percent usage rate, the usage rate gathered from accident

    reports came in at 76.6 percent. Alcohol involvement, especially in fatal crashes,

    still takes its toll.

    Data on crashes in this booklet were obtained from 1992 Michigan Traffic Crash

    Report Forms (UD-10) submitted by local police departments, sheriff jurisdictions,

    and the Department of State Police. Other related information was obtained from

    the Departments of Transportation, State, and Public Health.
