Check page 21 for the report on day vs night deaths.
Does anyone have good data on other countries? I've looked at Australia and there is no great pedestrian death increase. So it's unlikely to be mobile phones driving the increase.

- glimshe 3y agoThanks for sharing. The Ars Technica article focuses on differences between states but I think there is very little to be learned from that chart. For instance, New Jersey is the state with the biggest reduction, but that number represents a reduction from 217 to 190. Does that mean anything? In the previous 3 years, New Jersey had 175, 179 and 217 deaths. The trend is useful for the country as a whole, but the numbers for the individual states are small enough for the per-year variations to represent noise or one-offs (like a major events with drinking, or a nasty accident).
