This survey does not prove that only 36% of people usually drive above the
speed limit. It proves that approximately 64% of people lie to pollsters.

Try taking a survey of how many people consider themselves racist. Probably
1-2%.

Try taking a survey of how many people buy hard-core pornography. Probably
1-2%.

What a ridiculous source to cite.
