per month. I've been involved in two accidents in my adult lifetime and both times my car was not in motion, so I could not avoid the idiot.
One thing I disagree with from the article. It suggests speeding is an important factor. In once sense he's right - an accident is more likely to be fatal the faster you are going. But he says "29% of all driver deaths involved speeding". I'm not sure what that means. Maybe "speeding" to him means exceeding the speed limit? Or exceeding it by more than 10 MPH? Or maybe it means exceeding the flow of traffic by more than 10MPH? I take issue with it because driving slower than the flow of traffic on the freeway is, in my opinion, at least as dangerous as driving fast. Driving very slow in the left lane is 100x more dangerous than driving very fast in the left lane.
Plus it sounds like a correlation that isn't necessarily causation. I mean, I'd guess something like 85% of drivers exceed the speed limit on the interstate. So you would expect 85% of accidents on the interstate to "involve" speeding. But that doesn't mean that speeding caused the accident.
