FARS is the fatality tracking system in the US. None of the studies I've seen have shown real world fatality reduction. The studies they do have still list things like inattentive drivers or reckless choices. While small increases in non-fatal, typically low speed accidents is good, it's not really adding to child pedestrian safety. Better driver testing and education will provide the better overall improvement in fatality reduction.
- Tadpole9181 1y agoBackup accidents aren't high speed and the rate of fatality is low, why would you use FARS data in this context? Its clear cherry picking. A kid getting hit by a backing up car causes injuries and concussions, and you saying it doesn't "add to child pedestrian safety" to prevent that because they aren't splattered by these incidents is offensively absurd.
- giantg2 1y agoI'm using FARS as it's the best data I found. Do you have other data? Or at least data to show that concussions etc aren't proportionate to the fatality numbers since you are implying those have gone down while fatalities have stayed roughly the same?
