Obviously my figures were assumptions. They were used to highlight B0sons interpretation of the article.
However, it simple isn't BS. Here's the exact wording -
"According to the Queensland Government, speeding is one of the major causes of fatalities on Queensland"
Key words here are "one of the major", it doesn't say "the major".
Having said that, these figures are a little misleading, a quick read and you'd say speed is third, but unrestrained occupants aren't the cause of an accident and if you look further down the 2015 QLD document your quoting those figures from, you'll see they have the following for 2015 -
Involving drink drivers/riders - 23.5% (Drugs and inebriated pedestrians removed presumably)
Involving speeding drivers/riders - 25.5%
Check out the 2015 NSW report (PDF page 119) -

Alcohol involved in crash - 1,064 people injured or killed.
speed involved in crash - 3,882 "
Out of interest, what do the pro 'revenue raiser' guys/girls think the money
is used for?
