You might never have been in an accident and certainly not one where three people were sent to the hospital. Or morgue. I mean, that option was put on the table, too.
And you might not be that bad of a driver — no what the others say about you.
I’m in your corner here. I want you to know that. And help you, my friend, here are 10 years of [Denver Traffic Accident data](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/hrokrin/denver-traffic-accidents).
Now, you might be thinking: “How is this going to help me?” A valid question.
Cherry-picking is always a good option but let’s not forget both obfuscation and actual analysis. Three solid options right there and let’s be honest, already this has been worth your time.
Think of how good you’re going to look when you can *conclusively* (or not) show how accidents due to cell phone usage have been trending so that fender bender is not *technically* your fault.
The [attached notebook](https://www.kaggle.com/code/hrokrin/denver-traffic-accidents-eda) is there … just waiting for you. Your improvements; your questions. Just waiting.
What’s the best place to hit a pedestrian in a car? Just waiting. Which precinct does the worst job with its paperwork? Just waiting. What’s the best neighborhood to take a bike ride in case you don’t want to get hit? JJust waiting. Is there a correlation between road conditions and accidents? Denver has great snow clearing right? Right? Just waiting.
Oh, and there’s a heat map.
This isn’t some picked-over dataset about people on a boat. Who cares? They’re dead already! Not that many in this dataset are.
Ok, so in all seriousness, I’d love feedback. And for you to take a spin the two for a spin.
