You see it is considered very bad in a civilised society to actually kill people, even if the punishments for doing so on our roads are slight to none. -- UK Radical Campaigns www.zing.icom43.net A driving licence is a licence to kill.

I had forgotten for a moment that you never have quotable sources for your information. As deaths after 30 days of road crash injuries are not recorded as such I was hoping for something like a guesstimate formula or ratio based on some research sampling. -- UK Radical Campaigns www.zing.icom43.net A driving licence is a licence to kill.

Presumably you still haven't got to grips with the concept of an accident.

I think I can give you at least one thoroughly reliable statistic, Doug. 100% of people involved in a crash die later. There's an irrefutable 1:1 correlation. Just goes to show how dangerous they are, and how they ought to be banned. I'm sure I also saw a headline in the Daily Mail a few months ago "Do crashes cause cancer?". As an avid reader, you probably remember it. So, you're right, we should abandon this silly 30-days thing altogether. You can die a lot later after a crash. |
