Not sure of the stats regarding rv accidents, but last week I learned some eye-opening stats for Arizona roads. For the year reported:
- 40,000 fatalities
- 2.3-million debilitating injuries
Those are national statistics, not Arizona statistics. The population of Arizona is around 6.7 million. One third of the population does not suffer a debilitating injury from traffic accidents each year.
Thanks for catching my error Drew! See what happens when I try putting together a few sentences after my bedtime?! What I meant to write was "stats on American roads."
My takeaway from the training - be mindful of your speed, adjust for any and all unfavorable conditions, avoid distractions (cell phones, gps, etc.), be courteous on the road and don't drink & drive.
