How's this for a statistic?


10% of road accidents are due to drunken driving .
This makes it a logical statement that 90% of accidents are due to driving without drinking!

To make any judgement we would have to know what percentage drink drive may has low has .01% if that is alarming

Oh Brickie, I think you missed the "punch line".
It's a contradictory or at the very least, ambiguous statement.
The level of alcohol in the 10% doesn't come into it.
I want to be in the 10% rather than the sober, but bingled 90%. The odds are obviously against the sober driver. Oh, crack another tinnie and have a really good day.

I think Terro's information came from that Chinese gentleman Tung N Chique.

Seriously though it's amazing how often a Pollie or someone else with an ideological or control agenda with use specious logic like this to push their case.

I think the sober people should get off the road and let the drunks drive in safety. Statistically we have less accidents.

Please pass another Yummie Ibbo

Statistics say "if you put your feet in a freezer and your head in an oven, on average you will be comfortable"

Go figure...
