?Which one of the following, if true,most helps to reconcile the safety experts' belief with the apparently contraryevidence described above?
?A) Annual safety inspections ensurethat car tires are replaced before they grow old. ?B) Drivers often become overconfidentafter their cars have passed a thorough safety inspection. ?C) The roads in provinces and stateswith stringent car safety programs are far more congested and thereforedangerous than in other provinces and states. ?D) Psychological studies show thatdrivers who regularly wear seatbelts often come to think of themselves asserious drivers, which for a few people discourages reckless driving. ?E) Provinces and states with stringentcar safety requirements have, on average, many more kilometers of roads than doother provinces and states.
