Traffic deaths fall as gas prices climb?

Question

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080722/ap_on_re_us/gas_declining_deaths

It stupify's me how these 'experts' are remotely puzzled why this is happening, I mean is it just me or are they idiotic? OBVIOUSLY..people are driving less, therefore less moronic accients occur?

"No one can say definitively why road fatalities are falling, but it is happening as Americans cut back sharply on driving because of record-high gas prices."

NO $*** SHERLOCK!

So my question is, how can we make these so called experts shut up, they obviously are unable to make a logical connection between cause & effect?

Answer 1

It's true but, they probably just do it for the money.

Answer 2

Driving slower causes road rage too. Slower drivers need to stay in the right lane. I understand their reasoning but if im coming in the left lane trying to do my usual 9-10 miles over, get out of my way and let me go where I need to go.

Answer 3

Some people choose to drive slower, but then vehicles behind them may talegate, which may cause an accident.  A couple cars have stayed close to my rear bumper, as I can testify to this statement.

Answer 4

most "experts" are incapable of thinking outside the box. thats why they are "experts" in their field.
