Pa. crash deaths were near record lows in 2024, but speeding and drunk driving still account for most of them

πŸš—πŸ˜• I think it's awesome that Pennsylvania saw a record-low number of car crash deaths last year, but we can't just celebrate yet! πŸŽ‰ I mean, speeding and drunk driving are still major issues, and it's crazy to me that men make up 72% of fatal crashes involving booze. Like, what's going on? πŸ€” We need to do more than just increase awareness - we need to hold our leaders accountable for implementing stricter laws and enforcement.

And can we talk about how many people aren't wearing seatbelts? 🚫 That's, like, 40% of the fatalities?! It's insane. We need better education and outreach programs, not just more money thrown at the problem. πŸ’Έ I'm all for investing in safety initiatives, but it needs to be a collective effort.

The fact that traffic volume surged on federal holidays is also super concerning πŸš—πŸ’₯. We can't just expect people to drive safely when there are so many temptations out there (think: holiday shopping and festivities). Something's gotta change! πŸ”„
 
πŸš—πŸ’” I'm actually kinda stoked to see PA's car crash deaths hit a record low, but we gotta keep pushing for safer roads. Speeding and drunk driving are still major issues – 357 people lost their lives last year alone because of speeding! 🀯 It's crazy to think that only wearing a seatbelt can save up to 45% of lives in crashes... 40% of those who died weren't even buckled up? 😬 Let's keep the momentum going and make sure everyone knows how important road safety is. We need more awareness campaigns and enforcement on these issues, not just for PA but nationwide 🌟
