Yes, I remember those times, too. I also remember time before you. (I'm older than you are.) :) :) :)
There were 30,057 fatal motor vehicle crashes in the United States in 2013 in which 32,719 deaths occurred. A curiosity, pedestrian fatalities on Interstates have claimed an average of 610 lives each year. Interesting, since pedestrians are not allowed on Interstates.
