	The fatality rate, which is the number of fatalities on a per-vehicle-mile-driven basis (usually based on 100 million vehicle miles traveled) is a more accurate means of measuring highway safety.
	The reason fatality rates and fatal accident rates are a more accurate measure of highway safety trends is because they are based on the concept of "exposure." A motorist who drives 50,000 miles a year has 10 times the accident exposure risk than a driver who logs 5,000 miles in a year.
	Fatality rates based on population, the number of registered vehicles or the number of licensed drivers are virtually meaningless as analytical tools or measures of highway safety trends.
