  • 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.
