Jimmy Carter mandated that cars contain various safety devises. He mandated this in 1977, and became mandatory in 82 or 83......In the early 80s, there was a recession which lowered deaths on highways. But there has been a drastic reduction of deaths on the highways since 1982..Please hit the link above to see the reduction..In 1980, 55,000 deaths..In 2019, 35,000 approximately..That is with one hundred million more cars on the U.S.highways. ..Oh, you don't believe??? Hit that link and scroll down. Jimmy Carter saved more lives by mandating safety devises, than Bush killed in Iraq. (both Iraqi and American deaths combined.)

So, Hit the link above and take a look.
