Taking a quick look at the math, I would think there's a very good reason for that.
Today's Sametime Status comes to you courtesy of some moronic radio commercial I'm subjected to fairly often. If you happen to live around here and haven't heard it, it's merely because you weren't paying attention, and you'll hear it all the time now. Hopefully, you'll grow to think it's as stupid as I do.
Honestly, I'm not even sure what the commercial is about. It may be a public service announcement, or for an insurance company or something. The gist of it is that speeding while driving is bad. They try to back up their case with facts, stating that "Speeding is the leading cause of traffic accidents in Teens under the age of 21." I'm not making this up.
We can take a number of things from this. The accuracy of these assumptions may be subject to debate, but let's infer:
- Most (if not all) "Teens" are under age 21
- Once you turn 21, Speeding is less dangerous
- Between your 20th and 21st Birthdays is a grey area of speeding safety. You're not a "Teen" so you're probably okay.
- 11 and 12-year olds can speed with impunity.
Happy driving, everybody!
