Utah State Prof Says Hybrids Don't Kill More Pedestrians
thecarchik writes "Preliminary data seemed to show that hybrids were more likely to be involved in pedestrian crashes or hit cyclists. But now EV enthusiast Mark Larson (he's also an Emeritus Professor of Spanish at Utah State University) has analyzed some additional data and found this not to be the case at all. He used 1994-2008 figures from the Fatality Reporting System maintained by the NHTSA and found that the rate of pedestrian fatalities has in fact fallen over that same period."
Do you have any idea what welding ramming spikes to my Prius will do to my mileage?
I drive a hybrid, and I find I get just the right noise level by wedging a playing card between my tire and the wheel well.
!#@%*)anks for hanging up the phone, dear.
Preliminary data seemed to show that Al-Qaeda were violent terrorists. But now AQ enthusiast Mark Larson (he's also an Emeritus Professor of Spanish at Utah State University) has analyzed some additional data and found this not be the case at all. He used 1988-2001 crime data from the Uniform Crime Report and found that the murder rate in fact fell over that same period.
Indeed. I had to switch to a truck because I got tired of having to back over 'em as they crawled for help.
