Abstract
This report describes the results of AAAFTS’s Traffic Safety Culture Index in 2017. The data was gathered through survey responses from a probability sample of drivers across the US. The results revealed 21% of drivers reported having been involved in a motor vehicle crash in which someone had to go to the hospital. Further, 31% of drivers reported having had a relative who was seriously injured or killed in a motor vehicle crash. Most drivers perceived distracted drivers was a bigger problem today compared to past years. Moreover, distracted driving outpaced all other issues as a growing concern.
