"16-year-old drivers are at 9 time greater risk of a fatal accident than the driving population at large." when I hear things like this on the radio -at least in the context of consciousness-raising crap, I either ignore it or get steamed, since in a case like this there is not a shred of hope that anything will actually be done to change the situation.
Well, when I heard this this morning, and this afternoon the paper carried a story of the consolidation of five rural school districts into a single co-operative high school, I reflected on the fact that the increased driving distances for the teenagers in question will automatically result in an increased death toll for the student population of the proposed school.
