      LOL reminds me of that grim article that was like “[percentage] of People Were Shot by a Toddler Annually”

      “Somebody’s gotta stop him!”

    About a fifth of all road accidents that end with death or serious injury involve drivers aged 17 to 24. Can we get a full graph on the other 4/5th of the drivers?

    This ageist crap again. Accidents disproportional involve new/inexperienced drivers. Young drivers are necessarily new. For a fifth of multiple vehicle fatal accidents to involve any 10th of drivers would be almost expected.

      Yes, but I’m okay restricting licenses to younger people. Might raise a new generation on public transport and bikes.
