Studies have shown that a large percentage of car accidents are caused by aggressive driving. To help reduce the number of accidents and to promote traffic safety in general, insurance companies have begun to issue discounts to drivers who take defensive driving courses. Research shows that people who practice defensive driving are considerably less likely to get into a car accident. Therefore, the insurance company’s plan should help reduce the number of accidents.

Assuming the statements above are true, which of the following can be inferred from them?

A. The majority of accidents are caused by drivers who possess insurance.

B. People who manage to consistently avoid car accidents are likely practicing defensive driving.

C. Young males and other demographics known for disproportionately being involved in car accidents are less likely to practice defensive driving than other demographics.

D. An individual who does not practice defensive driving is always more likely to get into a car accident than an individual who does practice defensive driving.

E. Discounts are the most effective way for insurance companies to promote defensive driving.
