Cities across America have been trying — and mostly failing — to achieve Vision Zero for more than a decade. But is it really time to trade the goal of ending road deaths and serious injuries for the aim of reducing them 30 percent by 2030? And would we be better positioned to eliminate the other 70 percent of fatalities if we made that strategic shift, or not?  Today on the Brake, we sit down with the presdient of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, David Harkey, to talk about his organization's pivot to push for a five-year full-court press on traffic violence, and why he doesn't believe that means giving up on ending road deaths overall. And along the way, Kea presses him to examine what strategies would really rise to the surface if we set a tighter time horizon for more modest road safety gains, and why we have to sweat our strategy when it comes to saving lives.

On this week's program, your host, Justin Mog, sits down with Alex Otte, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Regional Executive Director and former National President. Alex is a Kentucky resident, who was hit by a boat driven by a drunk driver while sitting on a jet ski when she was 13 years old. Despite sustaining severe injuries — including a traumatic brain injury, broken neck, shattered femurs, and the loss of her right leg below the knee — Alex survived and has dedicated her life to ending drunk driving. Learn Alex's personal story at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN7vEoTkeOE December is Impaired Driving Prevention Month - and December is also a month where we see an increase in impaired driving due to the holiday celebrations and increased travel. Tune in as Alex shares some valuable safety tips during this high-risk period. You'll also learn what MADD is doing to end drunk driving year-round, and how anti-drunk driving technology, required by the bipartisan, federal HALT Act which was passed into law in 2021, will ultimately end drunk driving. Drunk driving is an escalating public health crisis. Drunk driving deaths have increased by 33% since 2019, claiming more than 13,000 lives in 2022 alone — impacting families nationwide. Every 78 seconds, someone is killed or injured in a drunk driving crash. Anti-drunk driving technology in cars offers a lifeline, yet regulatory delays mean 37 more lives lost each day. MADD believes we can end drunk driving with lifesaving anti-drunk driving technology. The HALT Drunk Driving Act, passed in November 2021, requires a new national safety standard for anti-drunk driving technology in all new cars. The law then requires car manufacturers to integrate the technology in new vehicles. This technology will save more than 10,000 lives per year and prevent hundreds of thousands of injuries, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The HALT Act directs the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to complete a rulemaking process to determine what technology solution is ultimately chosen. The law directed USDOT to establish regulations for this technology by November 15, 2024. The rulemaking process involves gathering insights from a broad range of stakeholders including auto manufacturers, safety experts, engineers, and the public, ensuring that the solutions developed are both effective and practical. This is similar to the regulatory process that brought us seatbelts, airbags and backup cameras, which are all standard in new vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is directed to complete a rulemaking process within three years of the November 2021 enactment of the IIJA. Automakers will then have two to three years to implement the new standard. The auto industry has the resources and expertise to make safety advancements like drunk driving prevention a reality, much the same way it has used its R&D prowess for self-driving vehicles, electrification and many safety innovations.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for September 17th Publish Date:  September 17th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Tuesday, September 17th and Happy heavenly Birthday Hank Williams 09.17.24 –BIRTHDAY – HANK WILLIAMS*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  Suspect Arrested in Marietta Murder Campbell High Receives $50K Donation for Music Technology Program Pedestrian Killed Crossing Mableton Parkway All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!    BREAK: CU of GA STORY 1:  Suspect Arrested in Marietta Murder An Atlanta man, Tavion Taylor, 21, was arrested and charged with the murder of De'shaune Hall, 21, in a Friday night shooting in Marietta. Taylor faces charges of felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during a crime. The shooting occurred around 10:15 p.m. outside an apartment building on Bentley Road near Interstate 75. Responding officers found Hall with multiple gunshot wounds, but he later died despite aid efforts. Witness statements led detectives to identify Taylor as the suspect. After a brief foot chase, Taylor was arrested at his Cumberland apartment by Cobb County officers early Saturday morning. Police from Marietta and Cobb County collaborated effectively, securing warrants for searches of both Hall's and Taylor's residences. STORY 2:     Campbell High Receives $50K Donation for Music Technology Program Campbell High School in Smyrna received a $50,000 donation to create a music technology program, thanks to a partnership between the Give a Note Foundation and Huber Engineered Material. The donation was presented during a morning assembly attended by Cobb Superintendent Chris Ragsdale, who praised the opportunity for students to engage in music technology. The program will teach students to use production equipment typically found in music studios. Already popular, 176 students have enrolled, and additional equipment donations have been provided. The event featured performances by the school's marching band and a surprise appearance by The BoyKinz. This initiative is part of a three-year investment by Give a Note, aiming to enhance music education in schools nationwide. Campbell is one of two high schools benefiting from this program, alongside Woodburn High School in Oregon. STORY 3:  Pedestrian Killed Crossing Mableton Parkway A 36-year-old man was struck and killed by a car while crossing Mableton Parkway near Community Drive in Mableton on Saturday night. The incident occurred around 10:49 p.m., and the pedestrian was not using a crosswalk. A white 2020 Nissan Murano was the vehicle involved in the accident, and the driver stopped following the collision. The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene by the Cobb County Medical Examiner's Office. Authorities have not yet released the pedestrian's identity as they await family notification. The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is urged to contact Cobb Police at 770-499-3987.     We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.    We'll be right back    Break: DRAKE (COBB) STORY 4:  Georgia Kicking Off Annual National Child Passenger Safety Week The Governor's Office of Highway Safety, in collaboration with the Georgia Department of Public Health, is promoting child passenger safety during National Child Passenger Safety Week from September 15-21. The campaign aims to educate parents and caregivers about the correct installation and use of car seats and booster seats to prevent child fatalities in car crashes. Educational events across Georgia will provide guidance on choosing the right seat based on a child's age, height, and weight, and ensure seats are registered for recall notifications. Properly installed car seats significantly reduce injury risks, and parents are encouraged to attend these events or visit fitting stations to ensure their children's safety. The initiative emphasizes compliance with Georgia state laws requiring appropriate restraints for children under eight and highlights the critical role of car seats in saving lives. STORY 5:  Georgia abortion ban comes under fire at Senate hearing An Atlanta woman, Mackenzie Kulik, testified before a U.S. Senate subcommittee about her experience with Georgia's restrictive abortion law, which bans most abortions after six weeks. Kulik, facing a dangerous pregnancy, was advised to rest and hydrate, as her case didn't qualify for exceptions under the law. The hearing, led by Sen. Jon Ossoff, highlighted the law's risks to women's health and its impact on the availability of OB-GYNs in Georgia. Dr. Carrie Cwiak criticized the law for increasing maternal mortality and forcing healthcare providers to turn away patients. The hearing underscored the broader political debate on abortion, with ongoing calls for federal legislation to protect abortion rights, contrasting with arguments for state-level decision-making. We'll be back in a moment    Break: INGLES 7 (ROASTING VEGTABLES) STORY 6:  IRS-CI Atlanta Field Office Reminds Sports Fans Illegal Gambling is Criminal Offense As the 2024-2025 NFL season kicks off, the IRS Criminal Investigation Atlanta Field Office is cautioning sports fans about the legal risks of illegal gambling, which generates over $700 million annually in the U.S. From 2020 to mid-2024, the IRS-CI launched 151 investigations into illegal gambling, leading to 71 convictions with average sentences exceeding two years. Illegal gambling funds criminal activities, and despite legalized sports betting in many states, it remains prohibited in Georgia and Alabama. A notable case involved a multi-million dollar tax evasion scheme in Alabama. Participants must report gambling winnings on tax returns, with the IRS urging individuals to maintain detailed records of their gambling activities. STORY 7:    Wellstar Kicks off Student Internship Program with Cobb School District More than 20 students from the Cobb Innovation and Technology Academy (CITA) have begun internships at Wellstar Health Center, as part of a healthcare career preparation program in collaboration with the Cobb School District. This initiative aims to equip high school students with essential skills for future careers in healthcare. The internship, running until December 31, offers three study areas: work-based learning, patient-care technicians, and certified nursing assistants. Students will gain hands-on experience, rotating through various departments, enhancing their skills and career prospects. Wellstar guarantees job offers to program graduates and covers costs for further healthcare education, addressing workforce shortages while eliminating financial barriers for students.

National Child Passenger Safety Week runs from September 15-21, and certified technicians will be out checking car seats and raising awareness. Studies show that car seats reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71% for infants and 54% for toddlers. Despite this, many car seats are installed incorrectly. State law requires children under eight to use a car seat or booster based on height and weight. Allen Poole, Director of the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, emphasizes that properly installed car seats can save lives.

"I made more in '22 than I did in '23," NIchols said, calling the reality, though, mostly a revenue boost and "artifact of the high fuel prices" that unprecedented year. Fortunately, leased to Wayne Transports with his 2020 Freightliner Coronado glider pulling dry bulk, "we've got a good fuel surcharge," he said. "There isn't any Mickey Mouse games with detention," either, which couldn't be said in his days pulling a reefer around the turn of the century. He's come a long way since with a careful approach to business, including his maintenance plan, approach to health insurance and retirement planning and perhaps the biggest challenge for OTR owner-ops going: bedrock safety on highways where distraction has become something of a norm. "I'm a firm believer in 'loud pipes save lives,'" as Nichols put it, "because people aren't paying attention." Nichols' is a voice for change on that score, in word as in deed.

With higher inventories and many 2023 cars and trucks, Memorial Day weekend may be the  ideal time to buy for some shoppers, but it depends on the brandMay saw an increase in the share of 2023 models on lots, rising to 6.8%.Average new vehicle incentives expected at $2,640 in May, up 48% from last year.Dodge had the highest concentration of 2023 models, offering discounts averaging $6,753."If you look at Honda, Toyota and Subaru, our days' supply are all under 30 still," said Joey Huang, president of Great Lakes Auto Group. "We're all still begging for inventory. We're selling more than we can get."Average new-vehicle loan interest rate projected at 7.1%, with special financing offers like Tesla's 0.99% on the Model Y standing out.Most dealerships anticipate high sales traffic over the holiday weekend due to increased promotions and warmer weather.Tesla founder Elon Musk reversed his stance on U.S. tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, now opposing measures he once supported.Musk, previously in favor of tariffs, now opposes them, calling market distortions "not good."The Biden administration quadrupled EV tariffs to over 100%, affecting $18 billion in Chinese goods."Neither Tesla nor I asked for these tariffs... I'm in favour of no tariffs," Musk said at Viva Technology.Musk went on to state that Tesla competes well in China without tariffs or special support.Back in January, Musk warned "If there are no trade barriers established, they will pretty much demolish most other car companies in the world.”California has passed a bill to combat speeding by requiring new cars to alert drivers when they exceed the speed limit.The bill, SB 961, mandates passive speed limiters in new cars, starting with 50% by 2029 and 100% by 2032.These systems use GPS and a database of speed limits to issue visual and audio warnings when exceeding the limit by more than 10 mph.The regulation will apply to all passenger vehicles, including trucks and buses, but will not physically prevent speeding.Similar measures will soon be implemented in the European Union, with potential for national adoption in the U.S.Supporters include the National Transportation Safety Board and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

2024 Fiat 500e: Finally An Affordable EV You Can Have Fun With

In Europe, the Fiat 500e is leading the electric city-car market for the second year in a row, ranking at the top of that category in Italy, Germany, Spain, Belgium and Austria. But can it achieve similar success in North America? One person who thinks so is Fiat North American Head Aamir Ahmed, and in his exclusive interview with AOTR Host Jack Nerad he'll tell us why. One of the reasons he cites is price. With a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $32,500 (excluding the $1,595 destination fee), the 2024 Fiat 500e appears to be within the reach of young urban dwellers, one market that most EV makers have found difficult to exploit. Fiat's opening salvo in its renewed attack on the U.S. market is the redhot (RED) Edition. The Italian brand partnered with (RED) to introduce what it calls "the coolest, most ethical car in urban mobility." As you might guess, not only is red the color that my baby wore, but also the featured hue of the (RED) Edition with its red-painted exterior mirrors, front grille details, and dashboard. In the interview, Ahmed will hint at other 500e special editions to come and offer more details on the launch strategy he has prepared for this latest EV. In our road test segment this week, Co-Host Chris Teague got a very early drive in the all-new 2025 Subaru Forester. The brand's popular entry in the popular compact crossover utility segment, the Forester has more exterior appeal than ever while retaining the bedrock Subaru values of all-wheel-drive and all-weather capability. While many brands have largely turned their backs on low- and middle-income buyers who are seeking affordability, Hyundai has not, as evidenced by the 2024 Hyundai Venue subcompact crossover tested by Host Jack Nerad. The top-of-the-line Limited test model had a base price of less than $25,000. And, surprisingly, it is filled with more standard electronic safety equipment than some luxury brand vehicles. In the news this week, Tesla is in hot water again with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration over its Autopilot system, and we'll have the details. It looks as if the all-electric Volvo EX30 is about to arrive in showrooms in the U.S., and we'll have more info about the car and its labyrinthine journey to the U.S. Honda has just announced a plan to invest $11 billion in an EV factory in Canada with the financial help of the Canadian government and the Canadian people. We'll have more on that, including our comments. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has offered some recommendations that could make the delivery vans we see everywhere now much safer for everyone. We'll tell you all about that in this episode. So there's plenty of food for thought this week. Thanks for joining us.

He was then moved to Jackson Memorial Hospital after he threatened to harm himself.
