Abstract

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a nonprofit, independent, scientific and educational organization, was founded in 1959 to research ways of reducing the incidence of, and the damage caused by, motor vehicle crashes, and to educate the public. The Institute has conducted research and compiled reports on such aspects as breath testing for alcohol, effects of strict laws on the incidence of drunk driving, driver education, occupant restraints, vehicle design, injuries, and bicycle and pedestrian involvement in crashes. An extensive bibliography of published reports resulting from research conducted by the Institute is available on its Web site. Films and videotapes produced by the Institute are available for purchase. The Institute is supported by U.S. automobile insurers.
