false.

The usual explanation is
that as they gain experience, the gain over-confidence. This fact was
discovered when someone decided to take a look not at age but at driving
experience. It was one the oddities covered in the course qualifying me
as driving instructor.
that explanation is clearly wrong.

Newer data.


so what?


Sigh.

There's your incivility again. WTF are you trying to prove?


there's your ad hominem again.

so what if it's new data?

So I was acknowledging that the newer data are relevant. However, they
don't necessarily refute the older data,


yes it does.

you're just spewing what you were once told, which you blindly accepted
as being true, without ever questioning it.

not only does what you said not make sense, but the facts show it to be
false.

since any claim about some
phenomenon in the real world is always contingent on the facts as they
are known or knowable at the time. How the newer data relate to the
older data (which predates the cited sources by about 3 decades) isn't
clear, and frankly I'm not going to bother finding out the details,
since at best it would confirm what's already obvious, that something
changed.


nothing changed.
