Quick question on whether or not this assumption is ok for the LSAT

TheDeterminedC

If cars drive faster, there will typically be a higher accident/fatality rate.

I'm writing out an explanation for https://7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-57-section-2-question-20/ and I got to AC C where it's wrong for different reason, but I do see another assumption that I stated above. I wanted to know if this is alright for the LSAT.

No you should not assume this. For example, there might be more accidents at lower speeds because low speeds are more common in cities where there is a lot of traffic as opposed to freeways which are less crowded and more controlled.

If it was driving over the speed limit, you can assume this is unsafe.

NotMyName

Agreed with above. I don't think it's a fair assumption on the LSAT or in real life. Car speed relative to other cars on the road at that time would seem more appropriate.

@Ohnoeshalpme @NotMyName Thank you both!! I was unsure so this is very helpful.

Thank you for the addition of an acceptable assumption too.
