"Michigan Tra fic Accident
Facts" was compiled by the
Michigan State Police and deals
with Michigan's 1956 accident
record. "Accident Facts" was
prepared by the National Safety
Council and deals with last
year's accident problem though-
out the country, with one large
section devoted to the traffic
record.
Michigan's booklet points out
that one or more drivers were
violating the law in eight of
ten fatal accidents and that ex-
cessive speed was listed as the
driver violation in 47 per cent
of the fatal accidents.
The worst three-hour period
for deaths, according to the
Michigan booklet, was from
5 to 8 p.m., with 7 to 8 p.m.
being the worst single hour.
