[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 352429, member: 13254"] One of my points is that you can make things look different simply by how you use statistics. So the use of stats is no way to prove a point to me. Another point is that we already have laws to cover reckless driving, we don't need another. You said: [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]The vast majority of drivers drive sober, so of course the statistics will say more fatalities are caused by sober people. In reality the [I]1% or less that drive drunk cause 32% of the fatalities. [/I]I'm not even going to challenge you to prove this stat, I don't believe there is a way it can be proven. There is no way anyone would know how many people drive drunk and cause or have no problems. The only drunk drivers you can count are the ones that get caught. Estimates are as shaky as proof as are stats. [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
