The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for ensuring the safety of motor vehicles and road users. It works to reduce traffic accidents and injuries through research, education, and regulation. The NHTSA sets safety standards for vehicles, conducts crash tests, and promotes safe driving practices to protect everyone on the road. In addition to vehicle safety, the NHTSA also focuses on issues like drunk driving, distracted driving, and speeding. They run campaigns to raise awareness about these dangers and encourage safe behaviors. By working with states and communities, the NHTSA aims to create safer roads for all, including pedestrians and cyclists.
