MFX Posted 6May, 2018 Report Share Posted 6May, 2018 After attending another accident today, I don't understand how the statistics that are regularly spouted are correct. Understandably as a Firefighter I attend around 1 accident per shift, and in my experience at least, it doesn't correlate with the stats. In my experience, around 75% of accidents were caused by females, stats say that males cause more. Accidents cause by speeding are very few from what I have seen (can't think of any off the top of my head). I would say almost 99% are due to purely people not paying attention. Whether they are on the phone, or tired, or medicated, or what have you, it is the lack of attentiveness that seems to be most common. Today was a prime example. An SUV was stopped to turn right into a carpark in a 50km zone. Wide straight road, with plenty of visibility. 2 cars easily went around him on the left and the 3rd car drove straight into the back of him writing off both cars. The driver, a young woman in her 20's swears she was not on her phone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to them on average every 7th driver is using the mobile. Be careful out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 6May, 2018 Report Share Posted 6May, 2018 Stats are made up by the financial boffins in government Jeff. The Police spokespeople are just dribbling bullshit to justify the cameras like they do for everything else 14 minutes ago, firstone said: Some of our traffic controllers have done there own statistical counts observing motorists.

Mate, I'm in a van up higher, and I see a LOT of phone users whilst driving every day either talking, texting or checking social media, so I'd say that is correct.
