\"\"<\/p>\n

An interesting study<\/a> by Transport Canada shows that a significant number of pedestrians killed in traffic accidents are drunk, often extremely drunk, especially those victims in the 26-45 year old age range (over half of those tested in this age range, though it’s not clear how representative the testing is). It’s certainly better to walk than to drive, but it’s even safer to sleep it off rather than walk. And if you’ve got a very drunk friend who is walking somewhere, it’s one more reason to walk with them to keep them safe.<\/p>\n

The finding is part of an interesting overall report on pedestrian injuries and fatalities in Canada 1992-2001<\/a> by Transport Canada. The good news is that overall pedestrian injuries and especially fatalities dropped over the 10-year period. The bad news is that there is still, on average, one pedestrian a day killed in Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
