6% of car drivers are cold blood animal killers, 89% of which are SUV drivers

ENG
Interesting experiment showing car drivers intentionally going on the road shoulder to kill by standing (fake) animals. Not surprisingly the majority of those are #SUV drivers

ITA
Interessante esperimento “scientifico” in cui si vedono automobilisti cambiare traiettoria per investire animali finiti sul lato della strada. La maggior parte guidano SUV

      It’s saying most of those who don’t care about animals on the road drive SUVs, not that most SUV drivers don’t care about animals.

        But if the majority of people on the road are SUV drivers wouldn’t it only make sense that the majority of drivers who don’t care about animals are also SUV drivers

            Europe has so many awesome wagons, and we get almost none of them. People here would rather drive lifted hatchbacks that handle like shit, rather than a cool wagon.

              Erm, I guess this is one of those cases where words don’t translate well between variants of English … I hardly ever see “station wagons” (estate cars?) here, whereas there’s lots of cool lifted hatchbacks around like the Fiat Panda 4x4

    • @candle_lighter@lemmy.mlas far as I know they are the majority of vehicles **sold** in USA, but I don’t know about the number of circulating ones. For sure it is much lower than 98%

      But keep in mind:

      * This is **not** a scientific experiment, it is just a guy collecting data on one road one day (for fun)
      * It was 10 years ago more or less, so the situation was a little bit different

        @rivoluzioneurbanamobilita
        È comunque abbastanza scientifico nella misura in cui si limiti a dire, in quel tratto di strada, quel giorno, questo è quanto rilevato.

        Certo avrebbe potuto anche fornire, almeno, il numero totale di mezzi osservati (per ogni oggetto: animali e foglia)
        In effetti, comunque, per capire quanto quel dato sulla prevalenza di SUV nel 6% evidenziato sia significativa, avrebbe fatto bene a esplicitare anche la proporzione dei SUV nel resto del campione.

        @candle_lighter

        • @Pare diciamo che la scienza vorrebbe arrivare a conclusioni generali, mentre qui abbiamo solo un punto. Ma comunque è un punto abbastanza significativo, è difficile che in generale le cose siano molto diverse. Diciamo che i numeri in se (tipi 6%) non sono significativi, ma possiamo ipotizzare delle tendenze.

          Comunque a voce dice che ha contato un migliaio di veicolo, non pochi!
