It's weird what grabs the attention and what doesn't.

I was looking up some UK #statistics and it looks like the most dangerous thing our sons do is drive a car.

Over 78% of all car fatalities are male and that's even higher in the younger groups.

Strangely, that's not why men's insurance is higher. That's mostly because men are more likely to make a claim.

Apparently women cause more accidents per capita in the #USA, which is a very odd geographical difference if you ask me.

These are the kinds of discrepancies that make me suspicious of #social #research

Someone must be getting this wrong, surely. #american #women can't be worse #drivers than their #British counterparts, can they?

Koala filmed drinking on a rural road had to be euthanised

"Koalas that come down to the ground to seek out water are typically suffering from bad health issues. The iconic animal was recently spotted by a driver hovering over the ground and using its tongue to lick moisture off the bitumen."
