Keep that thought you have of viewing all angles, because you've ignored a chunk.
When you are injured or die driving, you do not have to be the person at fault, about 50% of cases aren't the person speeding, aren't the person risk taking, they are killed by the speeding risk taker. You don't have to be breaking the law, you can be driving and fall asleep, have a heart attack or stroke, and kill yourself and multiple others, or the person coming the other way has a heart attack, is drunk or has a stroke, how careful "you are" is somewhat irrelevant. You can be a pedestrian and be killed by a "not at fault" driver, that is why kilometre 1 is the same as kilometre 1000.
This is made famous in the movie A Beautiful Mind, the mathematical concepts of John Nash, game theory,
Quote:"Adam Smith said that the best result comes from everyone in the group doing what is best for himself, right? That's what he said. Incomplete. OK, because the best result would come from everyone in the group doing what is best for himself and the group.""On May 23, 2015, Nash and his wife Alicia died in a car crash while riding in a taxi on the New Jersey Turnpike" they did nothing wrong!
Interestingly, it could be argued that speeding risk taker is analogous to the COVID vaccine denier!
A huge portion of 780 Million vaccine doses is not "flaky data", no matter how you want to paint it!
