And your mindful interpretation of road crash statistics would be?

correct. As a matter of interest Police refer to crashes as Incidents and not accidents. the reason being there is always a reason as to why a crash occurred. With a reason a crash can not accurately be called an accident.

Go on then - you know you want to!

i call them all crashes, what else are they

Ha. Very good Bill.

Now that you've come up with the solution, maybe you can tell the government that all it needs to do is tell road users just to "not crash".

It's all part of being "kind to one other". A bit of kindness goes a long way.
Especially if we're "going hard and going early". (shudup Apollo)

You would call crashes crashes, wow just wow, hope I live to be old and knowledgeable just like you to
bill-robinson,

well, as you are our resident accident genius, what do you call them? first hand experience is a wonderful input.

Have to say I just discovered that of the 9 'road deaths' over the Xmas/New Year break (I've subtracted the 2 motorcyclists), 5 weren't wearing seatbelts. You have to question the competency of the idiot/idiots who are in charge of the current zero over the speed limit policing strategy?
One could also argue that the most common definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different outcome?

That\s a bad stat alright. Not just bad drivers. stupid too.

yeah thats appalling. amazing that in this day and age there are people who just don't get it. would be interesting to know their driver licence status and more importantly how long they sat on their learners.

You are sliding off on one of your tangents bill, a recap to help you "bill-robinson wrote:
if you follow statistics mindlessly you could arrive at that conclusion.
And your mindful interpretation of road crash statistics would be?"
Having established, much to your surprise no doubt, that other people refer to crashes as crashes, what was the actual answer to the question put?
bill-robinson,
Jan 6, 1:08am
there are lies, damned lies, then statistics. that help you?

"And your mindful interpretation of road crash statistics would be?"
Sounds quite mindful bill. ps And original
bill-robinson,

told to me by a govt. statistician years ago. he said from some famous person. your interpretation of road crash statistics is? . . . . . the standard police logic.
bumfacingdown,

With out using someone elses interpretation of any statistics would you agree or disagree with "The going slower makes a fatal less likely or the faster makes it more likely?"?
bill-robinson,
Jan 6, 5:44am
to many variables to comment. your version of your statement is?
bumfacingdown,
Jan 6, 6:16am
So you have no mindful thoughts on that question, instead try your old and well used MO of trying to get some else to answer your questions. No comment at all on "The going slower makes a fatal less likely or the faster makes it more likely?" A question that was asked of you way back there and still you have no mindful answer
bill-robinson,
Jan 6, 6:44am
ypu could remove so of the variables but that interfereres with your training. why keep on, or are you just working on the premis, there is no such thing as a dumb question, only stupid answers?

You are getting excited bill, slow down with your typing and type something legible
