Heh! :-)

This - either the general gist of the article, or the following details -
doesn't surprise me in the least:

(excerpt from article)
"Right behind octogenarians in high risk are young male drivers, ages 16-23,
with fatality rates four times higher than average.

That can be attributed to "inexperience and immaturity," McCartt said.

Drivers aged 40 and 50 tie for the lowest risk of dying in an accident."



Nor do these: (Except ... 45,*000* X higher!? Holy crow!)

"School buses, massive vehicles driven during normally safe hours, have a
death rate that is one-50th that of average passenger vehicles.

But the death rate on motorcycles was nearly 32 times higher than for cars.
One of the riskiest combinations in the database are men between ages 21 and
24 who drive motorcycles between midnight and 4 a.m. Their road fatality
risk is 45,000 times higher than normal.

The most deadly hour is at 2 a.m., which is often when bars close and many
deaths are alcohol-related, Fischbeck said."
