The top three attributes for getting injured on e-scooters? Having no helmet, being drunk or drugged, oddly enough

Re: That's all very well....

If it was "number of accidents had by drunk/drug swilling riders" then yes, a control would be required.

You would want to know how much the intoxication had affected the ability to ride safely.

As it is, it's a case of "Of the accidents that occured, this many were associated with drink/drugs/etc" Which is just reporting. Not really sure how to have a control set for this.

We could compare it, to say, traffic accidents, and that would be useful - is drink a bigger problem as a percentage of crashes on a scooter than in a car.
