[Elist] CALIFORNIA LEADS IN REDUCTION IN MC FATALITIES

[John Del Santo]

            Washington, D.C.: Motorcyclist fatalities declined by at least 2 percent last year, according to a report released on Apr. 19 by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA). Based upon preliminary data, GHSA projects that motorcycle fatalities declined from 4,465 in 2009 to 4,376 or less in 2010. The projection is based upon data from 50 states and the District of Columbia. The decline comes on the heels of a dramatic 16 percent drop in 2009, which followed 11 straight years of steady increases in motorcycle deaths.

John,
California is doing better .  When the US saw a 16 percent decrease from 2008 to 2009, California saw a 29 percent decrease.  For the 9 months of 2010, California is showing a 15 percent decrease in motorcyclist fatalities compared to the same period in 2009.
