Another hallucinating AI? (Driving licences)

It's a broken question?

You have to ask it in a specific pattern as when it absorbs human "wisdom", it has pre-chosen many "experts" to learn from, all who disagree with each other, or speak in different contexts.

So when you ask it a question, it choses an expert at random, unless you tell it to chose a better one.

e.g.

as a disc jockey in a night club, how many sides has a 45rpm single got?

if you ask it randomly, and you get the unruly teenage persona, then you are at risk of being guided by someone who has never heard of 45rpm.

However I had a go at getting Gemini to give me the wrong answer, and failed...

Three was where there were 2 separate grooves cut on one side intertwined. Depending on where you lowered the stylus on the lead in area you got track 1 or track 2. With the same options for the C side ;-)

Is that how the "random" horse racing records worked?

I was born in the era of 78s and I have NEVER seen a 45 such as you describe, Not ever. Despitie being a disc jockey at university

That’s the age grouping of the drivers.

I’m trying to determine if older drivers really are the menace on the road that news items keep saying they are, and so needing health checks and retests possibly every licence renewal.

AFAICS the danger group is the 40-60s.

Ah!, but the question not yet answered by those numbers is:

Are they just the totals, if so the we also need to know how many drivers in each age bracket there are so we can work out the real likelihood, i.e deaths/1000 or similar.

The totals tell you little, unless you know what the population size is.

We had one of those when I was a kid.

I did determined the licence numbers earlier… Total number of licences for

Most of us over 70s drive to our limits. Many of my friends do not care to drive at night or sometimes at all, and as retired people we are seldom in a hurry. Some of the over 80s are pretty dreadful. But they tend never to exceed

My impression is that te mots dangerous drivers are those that do not realise they are in some way impaired - young lads who don't know the limits of the car or conditions. Middle aged people who are tired stressed out or preoccupied. Old people who cant use their mirrors because their necks are too stiff etc etc.

It's very rare I see another driver who is so bad they ought not to be on the road.

Poor drivers doing stupid things, yes.

Seven, if you count the three slots surrounding the centre punch-out.

Hmm. Age 40, I was doing 30 miles/day in rush hour traffic. Say 7500 with another 2500 domestic use. Age 81 my MOT certificates tell me I drove 2000 miles last year and probably avoided the rush hours.>

Ah! But the pressure for more checks on drivers health isn’t predicated on annual mileage, but age!

You need to factor in mileage. When I was (more or less) in that 40-60 band, I often did 15-20k miles per year. In retirement now, I tend to average 2-3k miles per year. Hence my opportunities to either cause, or be involved in, accidents are much less.

Loads on EBay ...

"They're off! The great ronco racing game"

I've not seen anyone split out the _at_ _fault_ drivers in the lethal stats - and I suspect they aren't stored.

As an extreme example if a geriatric is going down to the shops, and a teenager drives into her at twice the speed limit she's a lot more likely to die than he is.

Even though it isn't her fault.

Oddly the number of clearly beyond the ability to drive OAPs seems to have fallen round here. The old boy who used to drive across the main road without turning his head, because he couldn't, died. But not in his car.

The sort of cap pushed down on the head drive everywhere at 40 irrespective of the limits or conditions, are not so much in evidence either.
