You may be right, however there are a couple of other mitigating issues that, if memory serves, might taint the 1980's death rates.
But, memory may not serve correctly, so take it for what it's worth.
Wasn't that about the time that the speed limit was 55, and safety features (bumpers, airbags, etc) became mandatory. We also didn't have mandatory seat belt laws back in the "Drink 18" times in Ohio.
By the way, regarding another post above, I don't recall the drinking age ever being 19 in Ohio. But, I've been wrong before. Maybe that was after we left the state (around 1974) and were living elsewhere.
