Perhaps the headline should read<br /> Scottish drivers Second Best at Behaving When They Bother to Try! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15958#post-209284 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 10:21:16 +0000 Stickman 209284@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"2nd out of what, 4?

I think it's going to attract the Cautious Colins* and Careful Collettes* looking to lower their premiums, not the "otherwise law abiding" brigade of habitual speeders / mobile phone users / must-get-infronters/ double-yellow-line stoppers.</p> <p>* any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15958#post-209278 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 09:54:04 +0000 nevelbell 209278@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>2nd out of what, 4? Hardly newsworthy, more like propaganda - 'Hey Scotland, you're quite good at driving, buy more cars!' </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15958#post-209277 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 09:49:37 +0000 twq 209277@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Using DrivePlus policyholders as a sample makes the outcome pretty meaningless. Also a pretty tiny sample size of 10,000. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15958#post-209276 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 09:32:12 +0000 chdot 209276@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/news/scottish-motorists-are-ranked-the-second-safest-in-the-country-1-4008168" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/news/scottish-motorists-are-ranked-the-second-safest-in-the-country-1-4008168</a> </p>
