Getting behind the wheel of a car can be scary for new drivers as well as those who have been at it for years.

But soon you may be able to drive with a little more peace of mind; that's if West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller gets his way.

"Senator Rockefeller has really championed automotive safety. In particular, he quotes a statistic of 13,000 people a year die or are seriously injured from automotive ejections," says Robin Ollis of DuPont Washington Works.

It's for that reason Rockefeller has introduced a bill that would require more safety regulations for car manufactures, including safety glass.

"The front windshield is designed where it doesn't sliver. It shatters into small pieces and held in place by a film, and this has been in the business for quite some time," says Mark Hawk, Sales Manager at Superior Toyota in Parkersburg.

The bill would require every car manufacturer to add the safety glass to side windows, hopefully minimizing the amount of passenger ejections.

DuPont Washington Works has been making the product for years and could now see a huge boom in the industry thanks to the proposed bill.

"We would expect if that portion of the bill is passed that there would be a positive impact to the site," says Ollis.

But DuPont officials say the real winners in this scenario would be the drivers and lives saved.

"If anyone's ever been in a very bad car accident, just the smallest thing can make a huge difference in if you walk away from something like that or you don't," says Hawk.

Dupont says it is still unsure as to how production will be effected by the bill and say it's too early to tell if more jobs could be created by the increased demand.

The transportation bill has already been passed by the House and Senate. It is currently awaiting a signature by President Bush.
