2020 Fatality Data Show Increased Traffic Fatalities

While Americans drove less in 2020 due to the pandemic, NHTSA's early estimates show that an estimated 38,680 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes—the largest projected number of fatalities since 2007. This represents an increase of about 7.2 percent as compared to the 36,096 fatalities reported in 2019.
Training is conducted in both hands-on and web-based curriculum, and the entire program is available at no cost. Ford DSFL training addresses both the areas of inexperience and the issues surrounding distracted and impaired driving.
