Ben Goldacre's "Bad Science" covers LV's "increase" in cycling accidents
http://www.badscience.net/2009/02/867/
'Here for example is the insurance company LV, who have managed to get their important road safety data analysis onto GMTV. "Mounting financial pressures have led to a surge in inexperienced cyclists taking to the roads," say LV in their press release ... .... using data that forgets to account for the usual seasonal variation, and seems to get the prevalence of both cycling and accidents wrong, by an order of magnitude. Most importantly, this gets on the telly, with a nice puff for the LV brand, despite the fact that almost everything I have told you was spelled out to GMTV, by the boys and girls in tweed at the CTC, before it ever went to air.' |
