Is the Covid-19 stay at home order reducing traffic deaths?

I give up, I can't find any statistics to show me how many people have died in accidents this year. I was could find them for 2018 along with an average number of deaths per year but not for 2020. I was not able to trust any source I found since I had never heard of them before and they only described what they claim is going on in California.

I hope people working in hospitals right now are seeing a lot less accident victims and fewer deaths and fewer people maimed.

Tee hee, so is mine. The roads are wonderful! I often don't realize I'm speeding until I look at the speedometer or see ?‍♂️ (whoops).. and yes, I believe there will be less collisions with less traffic..

My wonderful 85 MPH commute effectively ended three days ago when I noted the CHP had pulled over someone on my way to work and I saw the spiderlike patrol car waiting on one of the straightaways on the way home. Same spider presence to and from yesterday and this morning. So, sad to say, I have applied foot to brake. One night last week, when I entered the highway, behind me, pitch black for the longest time. No car headlights at all! On an LA freeway! Now there's an episode for The Twilight Zone if there ever was one.

I've noticed the tailgaters are still out there.
