Overall, vehicles "traveling too fast for conditions" accounted for only five percent of the critical pre-crash events (page 23).

Snip

... eight percent of errors were attributed to driving too fast for conditions and five percent driving too fast for a curve (page 25).

Journalism is like throwing a hand grenade -- getting close is good enough.

Not fair! You read past the headline and correlated two separate sentences. Go to the back of the line!

I'll guess that this makes more sense in the original than in the abstract. But I'm not willing to find out.

Oh yeah? We get gazillions of single car (serious/fatal) accidents on curvy two lane roads here in rural KY. Darn near all of them are speeding. Bardstown Road between Bardstown and Louisville is positively scary at busy times when the road are wet or iced. No, actually even when the road is dry these clowns pass on uphill curves.

I've been in a long line at rush hour making that trek, where you aren't ever going to pass anyone the whole stretch. And still some di*khead stays 3 feet from my rear bumper for the whole way, even though I have 30 cars in front of me.
