[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The streets are quite safe. Accidents are rare. Very few Washingtonians die in traffic accidents. If they weren't safe, we wouldn't allow people to put children on bikes on them. [/quote]

The police say there are more traffic deaths in DC that are caused by pedestrians than by drivers who are speeding (12 vs. 9). [/quote]

You are getting an awful amount of mileage from one table in an annual report from a couple of years ago. But we are still all waiting for you to explain how it is that vehicular crashes will always have a single cause.[/quote]

Those are the most recent figures from the police department, but the numbers don't really change that much from year to year, certainly not in a statistically significant way...[/quote]

The police list the "predominant cause" of traffic deaths. In 2022 (the most recent year), they say speeding drivers were responsible for nine of 35 traffic deaths in DC that year. Which is almost identical to the 2018 numbers when they said speeding drivers were responsible for nine of 36 traffic deaths. Which implies all the traffic calming measures DC has instituted haven't really made any difference. I guess if it was that easy to reduce traffic deaths, we would have done it a long time ago.

I’m sorry to say that your reasoning is completely moronic.[/quote]
