Yeah...usually the statistical methodology has changed to suit someone's agenda, when you read shit like this.
Is it so hard to believe that in an era where more and more people are distrusting authority and breaking rules, especially considering how the right wing Americans have reacted to COVID measures, that they'd also start disobeying traffic rules?
Couple this with cell phones, smart watches and infotainment systems fighting for our attention, even while on the road.
Not being vaccinated against covid-19 is the second best predictor that you will be in an accident, first being that you're an alcoholic and they're only twice as likely to get in car wrecks as unvaccinated against covid people. It seems like there is indeed a strong correlation between not wanting to get vaccinated to own the libs and driving like an absolute jackass
Sometimes it's really obvious when the person talking is young.
If that is your experience, you should urgently review what news sources you rely on.
I have, for decades. This is the conclusion.
