Labor day is rapidly approaching and we want our customers, neighbors, & friends to have a safe weekend! We hope the following facts may prevent accidents:
* In Kentucky, speeding contributed to 179 fatal crashes last year, resulting in the deaths of 227 people. Speeding-related fatalities for 2004 increased, compared with each of the previous four years.
* Studies show that higher travel speeds are responsible for a significant increase in highway death rates. Kentucky's rate is significantly higher than the national average.
* During the peak summer months of 2004 (the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends) nearly 250 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes in Kentucky. About 27% of those fatalities resulted from speeding-related crashes.
Have a SAFE Labor Day Weekend!
