I love research - it says exactly what you want it to.

Firstly - within an hour of being stuck in traffic. Thats just after you get into work or get home. Whats the betting that a lot of attacks occur at that time anyway?

Secondly, my noraml beef - size of sample

Finally - even though you are more likely to get a thromby after a bus ride, cleaner vehicles would help.
So lets have a casual bash at the private car. Shame they don't look at the pollution caused by buses.

Time to take my anti-coagulants
