Default Street miles... and street crashes

Okay, so I've posted this on two different forums now & figured I might as well post it here too, since there was an interesting pattern on the first two forums.

Now I know this poll isn't perfect, but it works fine for my "needs" so just roll with it. One forum I posted on, everyone felt the need to tell me it's flawed, wrong, worthless, whatever.... but whatever, even if it is, just roll with it.



Okay, so here goes...




I felt like doin some quick math the other day and came up with my personal approximate total street mileage (50-60k) and devided by the number of street crashes I've had (1)... I'd like to see what others get.


Obviously there's not a ton of choices but just round up or down and click the option that most closely reflects the total number of street miles ridden divided by the number of street crashes you've been in.

A DROP, for this poll, is not considered a crash.

If you've YET to get in a crash on the street, just choose the option that most closely reflects how many street miles you've ridden. This way everyone can still participate and even if you crash TOMORROW *knock on wood* it won't change your response.

Now obviously there's THOUSANDS of variables that factor into why people crash on the street, but I don't want to get into that. All I want to know about are street miles and street crashes.... that's all.

I'm going for simplicity here and this is a SIMPLE formula to calculate and it's interesting to think about.



Now like I said, I found that there was a pattern in the results... I'm posting this here to see if that pattern continues.
Lets see what happens
