Traffic Deaths Low

Traffic deaths are at their lowest since 1950, the 60 year low. There have been many things that have contributed to this. Police are cracking down on drunk driving and bars are now enforcing the last call for drinks. People can report someone who seem to be drunk and police will go and check them out. The last call is when bars stop serving drinks an hour before they close. This is supposed to give the patrons some time to get sober. Designated drivers are also being used much more than they used to. California has its new cell phone law that prohibits people from using their phones while driving. There is also more enforcement on people who are texting while driving. All in all, this is probably a good thing, because despite the extra regulations, there are less accidents.
