I note the West and Dunn graph, which is then summarized BUT WITH THE SAME SORT OF LIES. The summary says the crash risk was greatest for vehicles traveling 2 standard deviations above the mean speed. Clearly NOT TRUE, as the risk of crash rises much steeper at SLOWER speeds than at higher speeds, and the risk was GREATEST at ZERO speed--when the vehicle was STOPPED.
This again fits with all of us who note the risks of causing the traffic to slow down.
It's clear that the NHTSA is not above blatant lying which is easily disproved by their own graphs. Reminds me of current politics.
