The Backwards IIHS: NMA E-Newsletter #356

November 8, 2015 • DRIVER EDUCATION, Driver's License, EMAIL NEWSLETTER, IIHS, MARYLAND, NEWSLETTER, RED LIGHT CAMERA, SAFETY, SPEED CAMERA

The NMA has never been shy about calling out the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for its agenda-driven “research,” shoddy methodology and reality-defying study results.

Where’s the Skepticism? NMA E-Newsletter #349

September 20, 2015 • ARIZONA, EMAIL NEWSLETTER, FLORIDA, IIHS, NEWSLETTER, SPEED CAMERA, TICKET CAMERA

NMA E-Newsletter #294: Numbers Don’t Lie, People Do

August 31, 2014 • CALIFORNIA, COMMUNITY, EMAIL NEWSLETTER, FLORIDA, IIHS, NEW JERSEY, NEWSLETTER, RED LIGHT CAMERA, REVENUE GENERATION, SAFETY, TICKET REVENUE, TRAFFIC CAMERA

We call it Competing Studies Syndrome. One study says red-light cameras significantly reduce accidents. Another says they have no effect, and still another says they actually increase accidents. Why so much conflicting information? An analysis published last month in The Journal of Evaluation and the Health Professions sheds some light on the issue. Researchers from […]
