> present an order of magnitude more risk than others
The data really doesn't bear this point out, or the category of drivers your considering are such a small part of the total that changing their behavior will have almost no noticeable impact on the total.
Further.. at least in the US, the majority of fatal accidents are single vehicle accidents where the driver was impaired either by alcohol or other drugs. You don't really need to mine data from the car to figure out who and who isn't the problem here.
> With cars and their drivers killing more than a million people every year,
That's uncharitable. Bad road design and failure to make protected pedestrian paths (16% of all fatalities in the US are pedestrians) definitely deserve some credit here too.
> a little constructive feedback would be a major help to avoid so many tragedies.
Based on US data: If you drink and drive you should be revoked for 10 years. It should be illegal to give people under 24 vehicles with more than 250hp, or any power level with a turbo.
