Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Recommendations for NHTSA

• Regulations requiring antilock braking systems for motorcycles.
• Mandating technology to prevent impaired driving.
• Setting stringent requirements for safety features on semitrailers.
• More active oversight from NHTSA is also needed on vehicle automation, where a regulatory gap has contributed to drivers’ confusion over the capabilities of technology in their vehicles.
• National maximum speed limit of 65 mph.
• Increasing seat belt use to 100%.
• Reducing the legally allowed blood alcohol concentration for drivers from 0.08% to 0.05% in all states.

*The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is an independent, non-profit scientific and educational organization dedicated to reducing deaths, injuries and property damage from motor vehicle crashes through research and evaluation and through education of consumers, policymakers and safety professionals. The Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) supports this mission through scientific studies of insurance data representing the human and economic losses resulting from the ownership and operation of different types of vehicles and by publishing insurance loss results by vehicle make and model. Both organizations are wholly supported by auto insurers and insurance associations.
