[Debs.]

These statistics are derived from police reports regarding cars they stopped and checked their documents.

As most statistics, it is misleading... it does not imply that the percentage of the uninsured cars in the sample stopped by police is the same in the greater population... in fact all it implies is that the police in Bradford are far better at spotting potential insurance evaders than other police forces in the country.

And for those who still doubt this, who are the police more likely to stop, an M-reg Toyota driven at night round Bradford's industrial areas, or a new Merc S500 driven at day time in the city centre?

50% of statisticians are too-clever by half!  

How`s that old saying go:
There`s lies....Damned lies....and then there`s statistics!
