I'd like to know how many accidents are on interstates as -vs- other
state/county roads.  In light of Congress wanting to raise non urban
interstate speeds to 65mph the nay-sayers are quoting the above stats.
I would *think* that the fatality rate on I's is low; that the
accidents are on lesser highways and in cities.  (no this is not a
flame against cities, some of my best friends live in cities... :-)
