| Abstract | The 1993 traffic fatality count was 1,414, up 8.8% from the 1992 figure of 1,300. Compared with 1992, injuries were up 13.3% and total crashes were up 5.4%. These figures translated into a death rate of 1.6 per 100 million miles of travel, up from the 1992 death rate of 1.5. Exposure factors in 1993 showed increases in vehicle registrations and travel mileage and a decrease in the number of licensed drivers. They included motor vehicle registrations up 1.1% to 7.5 million; vehicle travel mileage up 2.0% to 85.7 billion; and the number of licensed drivers down 1.8% to 7.64 million. Lack of occupant restraint use and use of alcohol continue to be major factors. While the direct observation study reports a 64.4% usage rate, the usage rate recorded by investigating officers on Traffic Crash Reports (UD-10) was 79.0%. Alcohol involvement, especially in fatal crashes, still takes an unacceptably high toll. Data on crashes in this report were obtained from 1993 Michigan Traffic Crash Report forms submitted by local police departments, Sheriff departments, and the Department of State Police. Other related information was obtained from the Michigan departments of Public Health, State, and Transportation. |
