Newsday Investigation: Dangerous Roads

Newsday is launching a year-long series focusing on dangerous
roads here on Long Island, one of the deadliest regions for
motorists and pedestrians in the state.  Traffic crashes are
so pervasive on Long Island that the collisions have touched
nearly every resident and family, from fender benders to
injuries to deaths. And the contributing factors are just as
varied, from drivers who repeatedly lose their licenses, to
impaired motorists, to how police enforce traffic laws. The
series will explore potential solutions, as well as how risks
are spread unevenly among communities.  To learn more about
this investigation, Bill McIntyre talks to one of the authors of
the first article, Peter Gill, Transportation reporter for
Newsday and Newsday.com.
