2014 Traffic Fatalities: Lower Number of Deaths, Lowest Fatality Rate On Record - The Car Connection

Though final stats on traffic fatalities for 2014 won't be available until later this year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has already issued a preliminary report that shows some encouraging trends. However, parts of the country still have plenty of room for improvement. The good news is, NHTSA projects a slight year-over-year decline in the total number of roadway fatalities. In 2014, NHTSA projects that number to slip to 32,675, a dip of 0. 1 percent. That rate is determined by comparing the total number of miles driven on U. S. roads with the number of deaths. In 2013, NHTSA says that 1. 09 people died for every 100 million vehicle miles traveled in the U. S. In 2014, the number is projected to fall to 1. 08 -- which may not seem substantial, but in figures like this, every tiny point counts. The decline is due not only to the small dip in fatalities, but also to the fact that traffic surged in the U. S. last year: all told, Americans put about 27. 3 billion additional miles on their odometers in 2014. That said, it's not all good... Portions of the Midwest, in particular, have some improving to do. The region containing Colorado, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming had the highest projected increase in fatalities for 2014: nine percent.

Selling A Car On Craigslist? Watch Out For This New Scam - The Car Connection

It's also very popular with people selling cars. If you're one of them, watch out for a new scam that could defraud you of your vehicle, leaving you with nothing but a sense of regret and perhaps a lingering auto loan. As scams go, it's not very complicated. The forgeries have been good enough to dupe nearly 100 sellers in recent months (and their title transfer agents). Those folks have signed over their vehicles to the duplicitous buyers, watched them drive away, then tried to cash the checks, only to discover that they're fakes. Someone takes a fake check for a car. CHECK OUT: Hyundai Tucson Vs. Nissan Rogue: Compare Cars. The forgeries are very, very good. They're likely the work of one sprawling, well-coordinated team of ne'er-do-wells. The scam is focused on specific states. In some states, lenders retain the title to a vehicle until the car loan is paid off. That means that fewer people have titles on hand -- a major problem for car thieves who want documentation for their booty. This scam, however, centers on states where drivers receive titles to their vehicles before they finish paying off their loans, making it much easier for. Source: www.thecarconnection.com

2009 Bankruptcy May Not Fully Protect GM From Ignition-Switch Lawsuits - The Car Connection

That's been crucial in GM's ongoing "Switchgate" fiasco, which involved millions of vehicles manufactured by old GM. As such, new GM has been shielded from plaintiffs, but a bankruptcy judge has just ruled that new GM may, in fact, be held... ) Instead, the plaintiffs were a group of GM vehicle owners who complain that the headline-grabbing ignition-switch recall has ruined the resale value of their automobiles. Such cases are ineligible to apply to the compensation fund, meaning that they have to sue shallow-pocketed old GM for restitution. Source: www.thecarconnection.com
