What's the mortality rate per 100K of "good drivers" per year?

True Scotsman have a very low mortality rate.

To be fair, I think qualifying as a tourist is much less subjective than being called "good". As non-native to Mexico, I really am more interested in the probability "being murdered in Mexico given you're a a tourist", P(m|t), than "being murdered in Mexico", P(m).

I think a more meaningful metric for tourists is the probability of getting murdered as a tourist in Mexico vs the probability of getting murdered while on vacation in another country X.

I agree.

Haha, I like this sentence :-)

Well, good drivers can still die by bad drivers hitting their car. And far more people believe they are a "good driver" than those that actually are.
