- Driving record only looks at past 2 years, doesn't look at tickets prior to June of this year
- Heavily favours years of driving experience
- Most people on this forum are under 40
- Average age of British Columbians is 42.3 (2016 Census)

If you take the 2016 Census figures and compare the 40-79 group (above average age) to the 15-39 group (below average age) and offset by a couple of years as it's 2019 now, it's:

17-41: 1,456,880 (40.5%)
42-81: 2,140,105 (59.5%)

I'm assuming most people over 80 are no longer driving and all age categories had the same mortality rate (obviously it'll be higher with age, so the numbers are probably closer than the 60/40 split shown above)
