I did the maths. There were apparently 51,000 hours of delay and 710,000 vehicles. Which I think means on average a vehicle was delayed by just over 4 minutes... (Unless I'm misinterpreting) Nonetheless, for those who have read the sentencing I hope you'd agree that the existing suspended sentences / community service orders / prior convictions do add significantly to the expectation of the sentences. I actually thought that the impact was pretty trivial; little more than might be expected from many other causes of traffic jams which could equally caused by the fault or negligence of others. However, that's not really the point. The conviction for the conspiracy was about the intent. |

Can we have the offending posts replaced with various colours of card? There's a few yellows and a couple of reds by my reckoning

Which I think means on average a vehicle was delayed by just over 4 minutes... . Not sure the maths works like that. Because they are not independent events. Not sure I follow? Well, let's start with how the 51k hours was calculated. And how the 710k vehicles were distributed in the network. You might have a large number of vehicles on other roads that were minorly disrupted (~minutes) by increased traffic flow due to traffic avoiding the main protest. But you could have a significant number that had major disruption (~hours) because they were held stationary on the motorway with no way off. This could (and I do believe did) involve emergency vehicles. The arthimetic mean in this case then is unhelpful and we'd need to look at the distribution and how these values have been determined to understand the impact in a more useful sense. |
