SCIENTIFIC FACTS: "RACIAL AND ETHNIC MINORITIES ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY KILLED IN TRAFFIC CRASHES, COMPARED WITH THE MUCH LARGER NON-HISPANIC WHITE POPULATION." ... "Race and ethnicity data from FARS indicated that for people killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes, those who can be classified as in minority populations, except Asians and Pacific Islanders) were more often driving while intoxicated, less often validly licensed, and less likely to be wearing safety belts than the general population." ... "Black drivers killed had the highest percentage with one or more prior speeding convictions." ... "Not using safety belts and child safety seats was also a problem in the black community, but the most salient observation for African Americans is the disproportionately large number of children killed who were not vehicle occupants." ... "More than half of African American, Native American, and Hispanic or Latino children under 5 years of age were not in child safety seats." --Race and Ethnicity in Fatal Motor Vehicle,Traffic Crashes, 1999-2004.

SCIENTIFIC FACTS: "Fatally injured Native American and Hispanic drivers, followed by African American drivers, were less likely to hold valid licenses than White or Asian and Pacific Islander drivers. Moreover, these Native American drivers were more likely to have had prior driving while intoxicated (DWI) convictions and license suspensions, BUT AFRICAN AMERICAN DRIVERS WERE MOST LIKELY TO HAVE SPEEDING CONVICTIONS AND CONVICTIONS FOR OTHER MOVING VIOLATIONS." --Race and Ethnicity in Fatal Motor Vehicle,Traffic Crashes, 1999-2004.

I be black, and I have proof that most accidents in Mobile are caused by white male drivers. Not only that but I also have proof that very few of them get a ticket. They usually blame their wrecks on black female drivers and get away with it. Oh lawdy me, we be heading for a third world ***hole. And FAST!

Black females are the primary cause automobile accidents in the Mobile area. Dare I say America as well? I bet she was uninsured to boot. Most of them are. Just one charge of leaving the scene of an accident with injuries? That's it? What is it that blacks in Mobile get a pass when they cause accidents and bodily injury especially when they are uninsured or driving on suspended licenses? I know for a fact of three such cases and in each the black female causing the accident was not given one ticket. In one of those cases the driver one black female hit was given a ticket because he couldn't find his registration. Mobile is turning into a third world **** hole and fast.
