And the categories don't make any sense either. Mitsu eclipse in the same class as corvette zr1? And funny how the m3 is in the "luxury" section and not in the sports section. And audi r8 is considered "large" but the GT-R is "midsize"

which point?

those stats are pretty much all we have to work with. Insurance companies sure as hell won't be publishing their numbers.

The DOT can't get out of its own way... not sure if I'd want data from them.

but I think the last nhtsa/dot study only covered the 350z. IIRC, it led all vehicles in driver death rates

Are 350Z drivers more prone to texting and driving than other vehicle owners?

Hmmm, it says those numbers are per million registered miles. The Z being a car that's not driven as much on top of everything else might be the reason it's so high up on the list.

arguably being a weekend driver helps lower your numbers. it is the main case made for vert numbers being low. "weekend drivers" are less prone to being in inclement weather accidents, as well as less likely to get hit by other drivers, since they aren't on the roads during heavy traffic times.
