They claim a 13yr high in one line and then say it remained constant in the next. Deaths per drivers per miles has remained unchanged.

Yes and when I searched to see if this article was posted, I found this headline:
U.S. Auto Deaths Hit 12-Year High in 2002

For a second, I thought this, Highway Deaths Hit 13-Year High in 2003, had already been posted! Must be a yearly thing.

I would make sense that every year would be a new high with the population increase & the increasing wealth of the population! The press will be happy if it hits a 14 year high in 2004.
