Now There’s Proof: Slow Drivers Cause More Accidents!

I can't tell you the number of times I've had to swerve to the passing lane at the last second to avoid an accident with someone going 40 in a 65!  That's not a testament to my fast driving so much as those who driving TOO DANGEROUSLY in the slow lane!  And now there's proof!

It's called the "Solomon Cuve"(also called the "Crash Risk Curve") and it's a model that shows the correlation between accidents that had occurred and the speed they were going when the accidents happened.   There's two catches to this:  1. The model is not based on raw speed, but speed variation; like the example I used at the top of the page.  2. It's Wikipedia.  Even though there's articles to back to curve and years of numbers to verify this graph...It's still Wikipedia.

The main point of the "Solomon Curve" and this story: Go with the flow of traffic.
