Re: [Skunkworks] <OT>Vehicle accident statistics
This is interesting, or maybe not. Vehicles don't cause accidents by themselves. I therefore declare the results of your research null and
void,
repugnant to the laws of nature, etc :-) Has money been poured to finish some brand in Kenya?
Ha, this is actually a very practical exercise. As I wrote earlier, insurance companies would be all over themselves for that kind of statistics. Case in point, if you buy a Honda and your friend buy a Toyota same price, same year and both of you have the same driving history, the Honda will trigger a higher premium. Why, apparently because statistics have it that its involved in higher accidents compared to Toyota. Its even funnier, the model year also results in different premium. So yes, despite human being the main cause of accidents, it does make a point to factor in the car brand too. Muriithi

merely seeking out that data with the assumption that someone else has already collected it.
My interest lies in the vehicles themselves. My core knowledge gap is: Which vehicle (make and model) is involved in the most accidents in Kenya, *ceteris paribus?*

Vehicle accidents. Does it mean that you are only collecting data for vehicles only or also of persons/ victims involved in the accidents as well.

@Karunyu,
Ingrained fear of the Police people? You seem to also have ingrained criminal mind<LOL>
I believe you can also get the data from Police Hq (Vigilance Hse) at Harambee Avenue.
Well, why don't you just call the Traffic Commandant on the phone (which you can easily find if you want) and ask him (from a far because if you get closer he might just order this ka suspicious looking suspect that is you to be looked in while they investigate) if it's even remotely possible for a civilian of your stature to be given these 'confidential' police data - never mind that no accident is confidential<LMFAO>

Thanks guys. Since I seem to have an ingrained fear of Police people, I shall try the insurers first.
But wait, wouldn't the insurers data be secondary? Since, I assume, it is sourced from insurance claims? My assumption being that not all accidents result in insurance claims.
