    Individual reports on the nation's 3,100 counties — including maps plotting the most recent fatalities color-coded by risk factor — can be seen at www.scrippsnews.com/killerroads.
    That's actually pretty interesting. There seems to be an overabundance of speed related crashes, but I'm sure they're just reporting what the police told them.

    But then I read the article more...
    The study found enormous geographic differences in the reported rates of risky behavior. Speeding was reported in only 9 percent of the fatal accidents in New Jersey but cited 44 percent of the time in South Carolina.
    I can't believe that's what's actually happening. I can believe the police in California are encouraged to check the "speed" box on the accident report...

    During holiday weekends you're sure to see the aftermath of a fatal accident on I-15. Not cool to see an overloaded minivan rolled, with kids suitcases and clothes all over the road.
