middle aged drivers cause the most accidents.

Postby rxtoy » Tue Jan 02, 2007 7:45 pm

which is sort of cool after younger drivers/boy racers being blamed for so long but also sucks because i'm way too close to middle aged :(

anyway, check out the tard trying to get his point across about the cops pulling over boy racers every 5 minutes because they've got chromies and how they just, like, kill the moment.

please, if you're going to try and defend yourself and your hobbie (especially when your hobbie is similar to mine) on national tv then at least have something intelligent to say (mental note to self: store next police/boy racer/modified car enthusiast rant for future use).

i'd be surprised if the numbers were that different around the rest of the country, more likely that those are the latest survey results and the rest of the country aren't up to date.

It's also only accidents that ended in the loss of life they're talking about

Hmmm well since not all accidents are fatal it would be also fair to assume 'ma' and 'pa' drivers cause the most accidents overall.

that cop said it pretty well, boy racers are easy to blame

2-3% of "boyracers" cause car accidents so they are the minority. Makes you wonder about that 97% ...
