More proof that incresed speed does not equal incresed death
Some rational people are still able to study the issue.

I see why you gave no quote from the article. Here's what it says "Author Robert O. Yowell said that after nationalization in 1974, there was a decrease in highway deaths that was greater than the prior trend. But the long-term decreases continued even when speed limits stayed the same." So he admits that that the lower SL of 1974 caused an immediate drop in fatalities but then as speed limits stayed the same, there was no further drop. Exactly as expected. |

Exactly as expected. By your own statement, the trend continued *after* the nationalization in 1974, and speed limits have been steadily increasing. I see you're new to this "higher thought" process. Give it some time and practice, and you may be able to progress past the second grade on your third or fourth try. |

Exactly as expected. He "admits" no such thing. Correlation != causation. |

Exactly as expected. Are you reading what you quoted? It says that the long-term decreases continued, not that there was no further drop. I.e., they continued to drop even when speed limits remained the same. |

We had the huge drop in 74 when the speed limit was lowered and then the death totals stayed constant the two following years while the SL also stayed constant. That says the big drop was entirely due to the lowered SL. http://www.publicpurpose.com/hwy-fatal57+.htm |

I.e., they continued > to drop even when speed limits remained the same. But this does not imply that lowering the speed limit did not reduce the fatality rate. There are multiple factors at work. It could be that if the speed limits had been lowered even further, then the fatality rate would have decreased even more. The decrease in fatality rates is mostly driven by equipment improvements. Until you factor these out, it is difficult to know the actual effect of changes in speed limits alone. Plus, speed limits are not generally obeyed, so speed limits are not even a good indicator of actual speeds. I could just as well claim that the fatality rate is declining becasue gas prices are increasing. In fact I am willing to predict that if gas prices are raised to $25 a gallon, the fatality rate will drop like a rock. Regards, Ed White |

Exactly as expected. Except that he never said it "caused" the immediate drop, and the rates have continued to decrease even though speeds have been increasing. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia "If you raise the ceiling 4 feet, move the fireplace from that wall to that wall, you'll still only get the full stereophonic effect if you sit in the bottom of that cupboard." |
