It's probably also extremely unlikely that an elderly drivers will be on meths, drunk, speeding or using a mobile phone (many probably don't even own one).

Looking at raw numbers is deceiving. Without diving deeper you could say.

NSW (354 deaths) is more dangerous than NT (50 deaths)

The faster you drive the safer you are.
(Deaths in 100km/h zone 334)
(Deaths in 110km/h zone 145)

40- 60 years olds are the worst drivers on the road since they have the highest number of deaths for an age group
(362 deaths)


None of the above statements are true even though the raw numbers support those claims.
