  • This seems to be basted of statistical averages, so I’m so sure it can necessarily be translated to 4 in 5 people in a real empirical sense. It’s not entirely clear though - I didn’t try to find any sources.

    I’d expect a skewed distribution with more deaths concentrated in certain areas and impacting some people more.

    This might seem an anal point, but it might help explain voting behaviour and crowd responses and such.

    If you’re speaking to a room of 100 random 40-year olds it might be way less than 80 who agree that they know someone who died in a crash. It might be just 20 who knew 4 people die. That sort of skew in people’s experiences might be helpful for advocates to understand as the dynamic of a minority with more trauma vs a majority none could be different - especially if the majority are callous self interested fuckfaces.
