[snip] Instead of posting just the survey results, why don't you post the actual survey? How the survey is constructed has a great influence on how the respondants will answer. For an example: Q: Are you an aggressive driver? Did you, in the past six months, (check all that apply) [ ] tailgate [ ] change lane excessively [ ] exceed the speed limit [ ] run red lights [ ] run stop signs [ ] travel below the speed limit in the left lane [ ] pick your nose while driving The above example shows that the survey has already determined what is aggressive driving (the last item being intentionally ridiculous) and respondants really have no choice in deciding what actually is aggressive to them. I am quite surprised that only 58 percent of those are speeders. Why do you think speeding is aggressive? How do you define speeding? -- Isaac [ f y s t @ m a g m a . c a ] Fight Your Speeding Tickets page (FYST): http://www.magma.ca/~fyst
