A MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
OF THE NORTH CAROLINA
DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES
The mission of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation, Division of Motor Vehicles is to deliver
outstanding motor vehicle services, promote highway
safety and furnish timely and accurate information to the
citizens of this great state. We accomplish the goals in
our mission statement by providing excellent customer
service while enforcing motor vehicle laws and maintain-ing
the integrity of official DMV records.
The Division of Motor Vehicles and its many partners con-tinue
to make strides in promoting safety by encouraging
drivers to change their habits and assist with the nation-al
goal of reducing the number of motor vehicle crashes
and the severity of injuries on our state highways. In
spite of this effort, many drivers still ignore the rules of
the road creating problems for all of us.
In 2004, there was a 1.4% increase in the number of fatalities, but a 3% decrease in the
number of traffic crashes reported. A crash occurred every 2.3 minutes and a person was
killed every 5.6 hours on our state highways. There were 1,574 lives lost in 1,415 fatal
crashes. The leading cause in most of these fatal crashes was speeding. Failure to yield
the right of way and inattention are cited as the two most common contributing circum-stances.
As users of this crash facts book, I challenge you to help us improve this situation. A
single life lost, a single injury or a single casualty loss is one too many. Educate your-self
on the tragic consequences of motor vehicle crashes, and then help educate others.
The Secretary of the Department of Transportation, Lyndo Tippett and I remain deeply
committed to improving highway safety, and we appreciate your role in making North
Carolina a safer place to drive, bicycle or walk.
Sincerely,
George Tatum
Commissioner

Easley, Governor State of North Carolina Lyndo Tippett, Secretary Department of Transportation George Tatum, Commissioner Division of Motor Vehicles Ethel Keen, Assistant Director Traffic Records Branch Division of Motor Vehicles Department of Transportation An Illustrated Analysis of North Carolina Traffic Crash Statistics for 2004 Prepared By: DMV- Traffic Records Branch Traffic Safety Unit/ DOH A MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER OF THE NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES The mission of the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of Motor Vehicles is to deliver outstanding motor vehicle services, promote highway safety and furnish timely and accurate information to the citizens of this great state. We accomplish the goals in our mission statement by providing excellent customer service while enforcing motor vehicle laws and maintain-ing the integrity of official DMV records. The Division of Motor Vehicles and its many partners con-tinue to make strides in promoting safety by encouraging drivers to change their habits and assist with the nation-al goal of reducing the number of motor vehicle crashes and the severity of injuries on our state highways. In spite of this effort, many drivers still ignore the rules of the road creating problems for all of us. In 2004, there was a 1.4% increase in the number of fatalities, but a 3% decrease in the number of traffic crashes reported. A crash occurred every 2.3 minutes and a person was killed every 5.6 hours on our state highways. There were 1,574 lives lost in 1,415 fatal crashes. The leading cause in most of these fatal crashes was speeding. Failure to yield the right of way and inattention are cited as the two most common contributing circum-stances. As users of this crash facts book, I challenge you to help us improve this situation. A single life lost, a single injury or a single casualty loss is one too many. Educate your-self on the tragic consequences of motor vehicle crashes, and then help educate others. The Secretary of the Department of Transportation, Lyndo Tippett and I remain deeply committed to improving highway safety, and we appreciate your role in making North Carolina a safer place to drive, bicycle or walk.
