I've learned not to trust those sorts of statistics. It's like the "<ethical group A> commits way less crime than <ethical group b>" argument you see on reddit sometimes by the ACKSHUALLY crowd. The problem with those statistics is they only count the people who were CAUGHT (and convicted and punished) breaking said laws. People break laws and get away with it all the time - probably the majority of the time. My friend, when was the last time you saw a $100,000 Mercedes on the side of the road with 3 cop cars behind it, the driver sitting on the curb, and a K-9 sniffing the inside of the car? Yet I can count plenty of times I've seen such a car run red lights, roll stop signs, and flagrantly disobey posted speed limits. (Especially when a BMW badge is involved lol)
