QUESTION TEXT: In Australia the population that is of…
QUESTION TYPE: Weaken – Exception
CONCLUSION: Australian drivers are more skilled than five years ago.
REASONING: There are more Australian drivers, but fewer traffic deaths.
ANALYSIS: This sounds like a good argument, but there are many, many factors that can affect how many people die in traffic accidents.
Note that we’re talking about deaths, not the number of accidents. LSAT questions often talk about traffic accidents, and they’ll switch between deaths and accidents, which aren’t the same thing.
___________
- This could mean that seat-belts save lives, even if drivers aren’t any better.
- Better roads are safer roads. This could explain why fewer people died.
- If you drive less often, there are fewer chances for you to have an accident. This lack of driving could explain the lower number of deaths.
- The stimulus talked about traffic fatalities, not the number of accidents. So if there are more hospitals, more people could be kept alive.
- CORRECT. This supports the argument. A driver training program makes drivers more skilled.
