    The advertisement in no means addresses the fact that their statistics are looking at a specific high risk age group.
    Hang on, that is exactly the point of the ad.
    It does stigmatise male drivers in general- when the statistics (from the RSA) clearly show that if you look at other age groups the percentage of accidents caused by women actually trend massively upwards vastly exceeding those of men- but of course its politically incorrect to say this........
    You quoted my post, did you read it?

    Sorry- I went off and was reading crap on the RSA website and went on a bit of a rant when I realised their selective usage of stats....... I got a bit peeved when I copped that they didn't even realise themselves what they were doing......

    As Winston Churchill once put it- Lies, Lies and damn statistics...........
