What do you think of the story, that as gas prices go up, so deaths will go down?

Question

Normally I like to ask these questions and not say what's on my own mind. However, isn't it so obvious yet still be stupid? I mean, The less people drive, the less auto accidents. So are we supposed to limit our driving for safety? It's kind of an intriguing question, really. Your thoughts?

Answer 1

for people to commit suicide,they have to think of another way,pouring themselves with gasoline and lighting it up will be too expensive,so in a way deaths related to suicide will be down.

Answer 2

Its true. Your right!!! We can't afford to drive so there are less people on the road, less accidents= less deaths.....

Answer 3

It is...but you have to think of the people that are still behind the wheel. You are still gonna have the drunks that know better than everyone else and say that they are ok and end up killing a family of four or even themselves. And your still going to have the old grandparents that should hang their keys up that run over  people (no offense anyone) and you have the high school kids that dont care about money just that they wanna go see their friends and get into accidents while they sniff stuff. Yea you have a good point but you need to minus the idiot drivers that are out there then the world would be such a happier place!
