The city of Littleville wishes to institute a congestion charge, in which cars driving through the most crowded streets of Littleville, in the downtown area, would pay a fee when they did so. Proponents argue that, in these circumstances, most of the drivers in the city would choose to use the city’s outlying roads. This reduction in traffic congestion in the downtown area would help reduce the number of car accidents in the city of Littleville.
The conclusion drawn in the above argument depends on which of the following assumptions?
A) A trip along the outlying roads in Littleville would not take significantly more time than would the comparable trip on downtown roads.
B) Most of Littleville's outlying roads are equipped only to handle cars and not the kind of commercial trucks that often have to make downtown deliveries.
C) Drivers in Littleville who can afford the congestion charge are less likely to be involved in a car accident than those who cannot.
D) Cars driving through downtown Littleville are at greater risk of being involved in a car accident than those that use the outlying roads.
E) The number of accidents in a given date is correlated with cars per area, a measure of traffic congestion.
