Interesting. Does that make us “below average?” Slightly safer?

Wild aggressive Dodge truck guys, don’t-give-a-shit Tesla drivers, then Subaru?

If you drop makes that are out of business, Volvo drivers are almost safest.

Mercury, Pontiac, Saturn? Hello, those cars haven't been made for a decade. I'm sure there's some data-skewing going on here, because things like accidents (non-serious single-car, or non-serious old car vs. old car) are not going to get reported to be included in these numbers.

A decade or so ago, I thought Pontiac drivers were very aggressive. I see a lot fewer Pontiacs and their drivers these days. Anyone want to make the calculations to correct this data for number of the cars still on the road?
