Abstract
China is a developing country with a population over 1.3 billion with the second largest group of people in poverty next to India. There are about 159 million motor vehicles, with 163,887,372 drivers. From 2001 to 2004 over 100,000 people died each year in traffic accidents. With law enforcement and public education, traffic accidents have decreased, and the death rate is now less than 100,000 each year.
