Road deaths/casualties fall...

[Shude]

These stats make me laugh, in a way.....

So, less than half the accidents were young drivers.

That means that MORE than half, 58% were by experienced drivers. Also, younger drivers probably more likely to be doing more mileage per annum.

I can't remember where I heard it but there was a statistics joke on the radio, something to do with 1/3 of pedestrians knocked down by cars were drunk. The general comment was that it clearly paid to be drunk as 2/3 of people knocked down are sober! Not exactly what the stats were released for
