Montana Insurance

A report by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, has increased the maximum speed allowed on Interstate Highways resulted in nearly 1900 deaths in 22 states from 1996 to 1999.

The report, which will take place on Monday, said the man adjusting to turn on the new limits.

”What happened when you increase speed limits, people will quickly,’’said Susan Ferguson, a top researcher at the Insurance Institute, a safety net financed by the group of ‘auto insurers. ”It is not true that more people follow the law.”

In 1995, the federal government repealed the speed limits - 55 mph or 65 on rural areas Inter States - and authority again sent to the USA.

Twenty-eight countries have rural Interstate speed limits of at least 70 mph. For a time, day Montana did not have speed limits on certain highways, a reader in a prudent manner vernünftigen”und.”The state has been something of a place for drivers seeking an American version of the highway.

”We are happy that they come here and leave, but you can not come here and have a Drag Strip,’’said Col. Shawn Driscoll,, the Montana Highway Patrol. ”Most people knew, Montana, if you ran 120 or 130, you get arrested.”

The state has been open for ihren””vernünftigen approach has moral challenge and a 75 miles-Hour Interstate limit.

The assurances in the report of the Institute has several components. It draws attention to a recent study by the Land Transport Safety Authority of New Zealand, which seems to have made a thorough study on speed limits higher the USA that the department of transport for most of the activity of determining the maximum speed allowed by Congress.

The New Zealand, the study focuses on 22 increases, that states their borders 70 or 75 km / h almost immediately after the repeal of the Federal Constitution-Cap. The trends in the States in relation to trends in 12 states on their borders on 65 The study found more than 1880 deaths on the interactions in the 22 United States from 1996 to 1999, when the authors aware that the geographical coverage could have a distorting effect on the results, because most countries went to 75 was in the West.

The Research Institute on trends in six countries and five cities that some limits increases, and some who are not. The finding suggests that drivers highest in the country to take the speed limits more quickly.

In Maryland, where Interstate 65 km / h maximum speed, average speed was 66 more than 1 percent of drivers exceeding 80 km / h In contrast, in Colorado, where the maximum speed is between 75, speed averaged 76 More than a quarter of motorists has been regularly exceeds 80.

”These are the fastest speeds, we have already seen,”Richard Retting, senior of the Institute of Transport Engineering, said in the report.

The Insurance Institute’s report also criticizes the auto industry continues to ratcheting horses and an emphasis on speed of glory in its advertising. It is based, inter alia, Pontiac advertising say that drivers entfesseln”Ihr little fordert”und Mercedes-sale advertising, versprechen”Blitz under the hood.”

Of course, many on the prevention of accidents, balancing security with comfort.

”I travel between 75 and 80, Matt”Bielby, 30, a talent scout, said in an interview Friday. ”I think it is safe and prudent, but it makes me a speed of dignity.”Mr Bielby was the end of a three-day trip to Los Angeles and a parking area outside Ann Arbor, Mich. He said he was arrested three times, including twice in Arizona to accelerate without a ticket.

”If you go by a State, which is the lowest, you feel that you cover,”he said, adding that it would be preferable to 75 miles-Hour borders across the board.

Some see other issues such as the conduct of its importance.
