11 accidents that involved hitting first responders sounds high, but without a comparative for the number of first responders we'd expect to have been hit for the same number of miles driven it's a totally useless datum.
- prepend 5y agoIt’s not totally useless, it’s less useful. I don’t think the measure is per miles driven as not all miles are comparable. I think it needs to be a mixture of miles, number of trips, number of drivers, complexity of trips. And I do want to see a baseline of how frequently cars crash into stationary emergency vehicles as I expect it is very low (what with the flashing lights and road flares and everything).
- burnished 5y agoIt's useless in the sense that by itself it sounds scary, but might actually represent a significant achievement in terms of performance compared to the baseline. Or not. In either way though it is being implicitly compared and so is useless for making an explicit connection.
