| Abstract | The “2008 Illinois Crash Facts & Statistics” includes data that illustrate Illinois’ safety accomplishments and provides information about key events in the history of traffic-safety related legislation. Summaries of safety belt usage, motorcycle helmet usage, and general information about programs and services offered by the Division of Traffic Safety are also included. The year 2008 was the safest for travel in Illinois since 1923. Fatalities dropped to 1,043, the lowest number in 85 years. Safety belt usage by Illinois motorists increased from 76.2 percent in 2003, when the primary safety belt law was passed, to a record high of 91.7 percent in 2009. Some 200 fewer people were killed during each of the years 2006 and 2007 than in 2003, and over 400 fewer people were killed during 2008. |
