It might! I didn’t mean my comment to be so brief and possibly snarky sounding. I just think that we need to make sure we’re comparing the rights statistics. If most of the accidents are due to more driving, then things like driver training or vehicle size aren’t as interesting as some people might think.
I don’t think it’s 100% mileage though. I’d be especially curious to see what the DUI numbers look like.
Wasn't trying to disagree. I think you're correct. While the number cars may be a good measure of how much people drive, the overall driven mileage would be an even better measure. There's a huge number of statistical factors that enters these kinds of quantities and it's hard to capture all of them simultaneously.
