New Study: High Gas Prices Reduce Auto Accidents

Need something positive to start your weekend? How about this: High gas prices help to reduce the number of auto accidents.

One reason may be that there are fewer cars on the road when fuel prices surge. As gas prices rise, Americans drive fewer miles to save a few bucks.

Here's another happy thought: Fewer auto accidents will even help lower national auto insurance premiums.
