The Backwards IIHS: NMA E-Newsletter #356

November 8, 2015 • DRIVER EDUCATION, Driver's License, EMAIL NEWSLETTER, IIHS, MARYLAND, NEWSLETTER, RED LIGHT CAMERA, SAFETY, SPEED CAMERA

The NMA has never been shy about calling out the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for its agenda-driven “research,” shoddy methodology and reality-defying study results.

NMA E-Newsletter #348: Bogus Statistics Hide Real Problems and Solutions

September 13, 2015 • DRIVER EDUCATION, EMAIL NEWSLETTER, FLORIDA, IIHS, NEWSLETTER, RED LIGHT CAMERA, SPEED CAMERA, SPEED LIMIT, SPEED TRAP, SPEEDING

Proponents of aggressive speed enforcement routinely trot out the old saw that speeding causes one-third of all traffic fatalities.
