      72.53% of statistics are made up on the spot. This increases to 83.49% if the quoted statistic has two or more decimal digit of precision.

  Is that actually true, or is it only true of drivers? I'm pretty sure that of people who don't drive, the ones who walk fewer than 5km a day are going to be involved in fewer road accidents than the ones who walk more.
