I purchased and read a copy of the complete Hurt Report back in the early 1980s. It's still worth a read. The lastest comprehensive study was the MAIDS Report done in Europe a few years ago.

Much of the Hurt Report is still relevant, IMO. The main obstacle to a new comprehensive report is a lack of funding.

Now we have much more of a problem with distracted driving (cell phones, etc) and the proliferation of SUVs than we did when the Hurt Report was done over thirty years ago.

I'd love to see a modernized version of this, too.

The study that Ed mentioned above is available at: http://www.maids-study.eu/
I'm digging through that one now.

edit: registration is required to view the report :roll:
