Comparing Urban and Rural Accidents
According to the NHTSA, 56% of the fatal vehicle accidents that occurred in 2008 occurred on rural roads, despite the fact that rural communities account for just 23% of the total population. That being said, the annual number of fatal rural accidents is declining, emphasizing that urban environments can also be dangerous for drivers as well and it is important for drivers to be attentive in both situations.
