Volvo – The Safest Car in the World*
* New US government report shows that fewer people die in a Volvo than in any other car brand in America
Look at the chain of events:
1. You have to buy the car (do people buy less volvos than other cars?– prob yes)
2. You have to drive it (do people who buy volvos drive less and hence have less frequent accidents —- need assessment)
3. You have to crash it (do people who drive volvos crash less?)
4. You have to go to the hospital/be treated and then die (do areas in the US where people drive/crash volvos have better trauma treatment? Do people die less frequently after crashes in volvos?)
5. Do these number translate to worldwide numbers?
All the above have to to be established prior to determining the validity of the statement
