Fatal Accidents Double On Montana's Interstates
The NMA recently received a numbers from the Montana Department of Transportation on highway accidents and fatalities. Chad Dornsife, NMA Nevada Activist, has created a web page that compares Montana's last 12 months WITHOUT a speed limit to their first full year of experience WITH a speed limit.
The new information shows that fatalities have more than doubled on rural interstates and has also increased on rural primary highways. This information contradicts the state officials who claimed speed limits, higher fines, and more enforcement would lower traffic deaths.

Please alert the media in your area that this information is available and would make an interesting story for them to pursue. If you have any questions, you can contact:
