Dear Tipsters,
Well, I realize that "crashing" may be a measure of driver
skill, but there are others. For example, what about
behaviour at STOP signs?
Yours truly has conducted some research on this (albeit some
years ago). Here is the result of interest, where Other and
No Other means whether or not other traffic was approaching,
and CS, S and Nc = complete stop, slow, no stop:

Comments:
When there is no other traffic, the majority response is to
slow down. When there is other traffic, the majority
response is to stop. Except for men over 50......
