3,500+ Lbs Vehicles 1 death out of every 1,500 registered vehicles.
2,500- Lbs vehicles 1 death out of every 3,333 registered vehicles.
Well id like to see the data. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that 3,333 is 1/3 of 10,000. My guess? they took 3 data points and made a generalization.

Show me the study or the data, then we'll talk.
