Five strange but interesting facts and statistics that you’ve probably never heard:
1. 350 people die every year entering the freeway the wrong way; at least 50 are killed by cars in driveways.
2. Studies have shown driving aggressively, which raises crash risk and increases fuel consumption, saves just a minute on a 27-mile trip.
3. Drivers seated higher think they are driving more slowly than drivers seated lower, and so tend to speed more often.
4. U.S. statistics show that half of all fatalities happen at impact speeds of less than 35 mph.
5. People who live on streets with more traffic spend less time outside and have fewer friends.
