'One Third' statistic

[Size Nine Elm]

Given the following two 'statistics':

• One third of all accidents are caused by speed


• 99% of all drivers speed

it must be the other 1% of drivers, who don't speed, who have the other two thirds of accidents.

So - you're much better off speeding, and 198 times less likely to have an accident.

Sadly...statistics as everyone knows can be manipulated to suit whatever cause.
So dont belive everything that you read.
