Happy Birthday President Carter

[Stuart G]

35. Jimmy Carter started something that saved tens of thousands of lives..(perhaps you know someone)

Brock Adams, Jimmy's Secretary of Transportation developed a program for automobile safety in 1977 ..This included front seatbelts required and other improvements like additional lights, ..and so on. Of course Carter was ultimately behind these improvements. The starting program, seatbelts in front, for all cars, was followed by many other mandatory safety improvements. Carter and Adams wanted to be sure it would be implemented, so in order to give the manufacturers time, I think the date for first mandatory safety measures was in 82..that gave time for the changes to be made in new cars...............................This was the start of a wave mandatory safety improvements that have greatly improved auto safety...mandated by the federal government.

PROOF...PROOF POSITIVE THAT CARTER SAVED MORE LIVES THAN THE BUSH PRESIDENTS KILLED IN WAR..

Hit the link below and look at some of the information provided... IN 81 OR 82, THERE WERE APPORXIMATELY 51,000 DEATHS ON THE HIGHWAYS...LOOK AT THE NUMBERS CAREFULLY..IT IS AN EASY LOOK.. IN 2014, APPROXIMATELY 35,000 DIED. A REDUCTION OF 33 % in deaths......with a 40 percent increase in U.S. population..1980, 200 million, 2015,.315 million......Jimmy Carter started this program and made the safety improvements mandatory............
Other improvements followed..and those were mandatory also...Please, hit the link, and you can see the numbers....Carter's safety program saved more lives than the Bush Wars killed.

So, if you know someone hurt bad in an auto accident, survived because of the seat belts/ air bags and all the other safety improvements from 1980s...and you think that those friends and family would be dead....well Jimmy Carter and Brock Adams his Transportation Secretary started the programs that saved their lives..

This of extreme importance...Carter started a program that ultimately saved tens of thousands of lives...People that you may know are alive and well, because Carter saw into the future, that this was important and possible...We hear so much of hate and killing...Well, this President initiated something that saved lives and improved recovery from auto accidents....Jimmy Carter is a great man...and you may know someone that is around because of a program that he started..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
