<VV> I just need to vent (insurance rates) (NO CORVAIR)

[J R Read_HML]

In 2002, there were 4,315 males in the 16-20 age group fatalities out of a 
population of 10,488,000 - for a rate of 41.14 per 1,000.  There were 1,962 
female fatalities in the same age group out of a population of 9,909,000 - 
for a rate of 19.80 per 1,000.

Neither statistic is good, but it looks to me as though the fatality rate 
for young males is more than double that of young females.
