Thanks for that. Awesome statistics. In one report to 2010, rates of injuries and fatalities have decreased by over 66% since 1985. See http://www.hamilton.ca/NR/rdonlyres/E8EE...

2009 for example had 2 pedestrian fatalities. To be fair there have been higher numbers since in several years but as a percentage of overall population the numbers have declined dramatically in the last 30 years.

I have heard the word strawman bantered about here a lot and am reminded of my university statistics prof who said that 100% of zero is still zero. (This begs the question: who is the strawman?) These RATES of injury as it relates to fault are really statistically insignificant.
