[B' Spokes: If we drive more just to do daily activities like work, is the metric "crashes per miles driven" an accurate comparison of how safe it is to drive in Maryland compared to elsewhere? MDOT would like you to think it is, I think it's a lot like saying a breakfast sandwich of one egg and one sausage is healthier then a breakfast of two eggs and two sausages so people in Maryland will typically have three breakfast sandwiches because they are healthier per unit eaten. That's to say it's not how you dived up the totals but what you normally do in a course of a day is the important information.]
