traffic accidents by nationality in UAE
By Jetsetter5000 •
We often see debate here in Qatar about who by nationality causes accidents. Do you think we'd ever see statistics published like this article from UAE ? http://www.emirates247.com/news/emirates/drivers-of-5-nationalities-to-blame-for-three-fourths-of-all-fatal-road-accidents-in-dubai-2014-02-17-1.538575
you are all very correct , but i think you are missing the point of the article.
Statistics do not lie , but you can interpret them very differently.
Well said 'acchabaccha.
Statistics depends on many factors. If the number of people of a particular nationality are higher in foreign country than other nationals, their presence will be seen more at many places and incidents. If this same statistics were shown for a country like Saudi Arabia where Indians and Egyptians outnumber the Pakistanis, it will reflect a totally different story. Just keep in mind there are two types of lies in this world: The White Lie, and the Statistical Lie!
kind of pointless to show these statistics without also showing the share of total miles driven by these nationalities...
~80% of accidents caused by these 5 nationalities is okay if ~80% of all driving is also done by people from these countries
now empirically shown how they behave on the road
Accidents can never be based on the nationality ....
For fun .... it's ok to discuss @ nationality .......
