Those statistics sounded fascinating at first - but when I thought about it more, I wondered whether they actually show anything?
I mean, presumably in 2-vehicle collisions one person is at fault. So "50% of people not at fault" is just the baseline (if all collisions are 2-vehicle)
Whereas presumably collisions between aircraft are very rare.

- bombcar 3y agoSignificant numbers of motorcycle fatalities are single vehicle crashes; and of those, many are not the motorcyclists "fault" as you could commonly ascribe it (hitting an unknown oil slick that wasn't the center of the lane on a turn, hitting the guard rail, and somersaulting over the handlebars and down a cliff).
