I do not know what your asking
Traffic collisions and accidents are a major cause of death in the US as nearly 3 million people were injured in 2008 alone from the traffic collisions. While driving the risk of an accident is always present and that is why the drivers always need to be alert, not sit behind the wheel under influence. People shouldn't drive even when taking certain prescription drugs. All of these are warnings and ways by which the officials are trying to reduce the number of accidents on the roads.
Ships in those days depended on sails to get around. That being said, they'd usually take anywhere from 8 to 12 weeks.
It might lower the population drastically.
Hope this helps!
