That's possible though, if there are some really bad drivers screwing the average.

Edit: it's probably even true in this case, it just depends on how you define 'good'. For example if you define it by getting tickets, only 36% of drivers are issued tickets. The average number of tickets issued is > 0 but the majority of drivers aren't issued tickets, the average is skewed, because most drivers are at 0.

I don't know how you'd measure driving "goodness", but I expect the distribution would be something like exponential (there are billions of non-drivers, and only a few rally/stunt drivers). So the average is likely to be higher than the median.
