NHTSA's report projects a fatality rate of for 2004 1.46 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT), a drop from a record low of 1.48 in 2003. The report also projects the seventh straight increase in motorcycle fatalities. In 2004, 3,927 motorcyclists died, a 7.3 percent increase from the 3,661 motorcycle fatalities in 2003.
