One of his experiments looked at which drivers stop for pedestrians, depending on the value of the vehicle. He found a correlation between higher value vehicle and their lower likelihood of stopping at pedestrian crossings – despite being legally obliged to do so.

\u2022 What thresholds determined a high value and low value vehicle?
\u2022 Were cars grouped into certain value groups?
\u2022 Were the group sample sizes large and proportionate across groups?
\u2022 How many different neighbourhoods and crossings were observed?
\u2022 How varied was the sample in terms of observation times? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
