ive been saying since i moved here that everyone on the road was either incompetent, an asshole, or both. and, that back in Michigan, people can drive and not run into shit, like say, other cars, pedestrians, and large decorative iron gates.
anyhow, now theres data to prove that im not just a whack-job with a web page, but a whack-job with a web page, and an ability to observe certain things with at least a modest modicum of accuracy. Detroit and two nearby communities were cited as being among the safest in the nation. thats as far as car wrecks go.
never mind that i imagine that with the way things have been in the last decade in the Detroit area, perhaps people are not reporting fender benders to Allstate, who collected the data, because either they dont want their rated going up, or they drive hoopties and will just drive it with a smashed fender, trunk that wont open, or doors from junk yards for that two-tone look they seem to love there. never mind any of that, because this data proves what ive been saying all along: im right and listen to what i say.

oookay i can't let this one get away without some comment. as someone who spends most of his time in detroit, i can attest that whatever minor advantages there are in terms of the number of car wrecks are completely nullified by the poor street conditions which result in three tire places on every block and countless repairs/replacements!
plus, at my work alone people have been hit by cars while walking, cars have crashed countless times, and yes, someone even drove through a wrought iron fence... well, not all the way through.
that's not to mention that we have no vehicle inspections or similar environmental standards that car owners must maintain... which itself means we have cars on the road that... it's a wonder they work. ha.
okay. enough of me running my mouf about this. :)
