WHAT, ME HURRY?
I AM A COURTEOUS & CONSIDERATE DRIVER

NEW Stop Aggressive Driving < brain >stickers® Campaign

"I'm sorry! I am and have been guilty of aggressive driving in the past. I sincerely wish to apologize to all drivers whom I neglected to treat in a courteous or considerate manner. To help myself and others, I am endeavoring to produce a humor based, I. M. You, "What, Me Hurry?" "I AM A COURTEOUS & CONSIDERATE DRIVER," < brain >sticker® campaign. To partially make amends for my past driving transgressions, I offer to dedicate the maximum allowable portion of the net profits received from the sale of the, "What, Me Hurry?" < brain >sticker® by our company, eta, inc., to the Starlight Children's Foundation in the name of the people of NHTSA - DOT. (See note*). NHTSA is a government organization of people who are devoted to educate, enlighten, and inform drivers of the "outRageous" characteristics employed by aggressive drivers. One of these characteristics was a very common tactic of mine to "demon" ize fellow drivers with labels, like "jerk," "idiot," and "stupid," to use some of the refined terms! I was only seeing other drivers in negative or derogatory forms, as we so often do, with peoples of differing cultures. In evaluating my behavior, overcoming my denial, I realized that I could only see in another what I saw in myself (jerk, idiot, and stupid). Thanks for your understanding, assistance and anticipated participation in my recovery. Again, I sincerely apologize. ed thomas, ceo - eta, inc.

STOP Aggressive Driving

"Safety is the highest priority for the Department of Transportation. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's FY 2000 Budget request of $404 million reflects this..."

"NHTSA's continuing role is as the national and world leader in highway safety as we enter the 21st Century. Recently released 1997 highway statistics provide encouraging evidence of our success in addressing the public's concern for safe highways. Traffic death rates dropped to 1.6 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled, alcohol related fatalities were at an all-time low of 38.6 percent of all traffic related deaths, and seat belt use was at a historical high, saving over 10,000 lives annually.

Despite these great strides, more than 6.8 million police-reported motor vehicle collisions still occur on the nation's highways annually, injuring approximately 3.8 million persons, causing over 40,000 fatalities, and costing more than $150 billion. Traffic crashes are still the leading cause of death for individuals in the 6-27 year-old age group and the number one source of occupational injury. These statistics remind us that although significant headway has been made, many challenges remain. Paramount is the changing highway transportation environment, including... increased evidence of aggressive driving behavior. "
