Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

We're extremely grateful to the RAC for letting us know that company car and van drivers aged between 31-40 years who drive a blue vehicle on Fridays are more likely to make an accident claim than any other fleet driver. At least that's what the latest research says...

Presumably these figures don't include dark blue Securicor cash-in-transit vans, on the basis that if you have an accident in an armoured car it doesn't really count (or matter much to you).

RAC Business Solutions has reviewed over 17,000 incidents from 2002 and concludes the following: "The top claims wore for damage caused while the vehicles ware parted—these figures tell us that perhaps the vehicles aren't always parked in the most appropriate locations." Oh really? Most car drivers we know are always most particular where they park—like Immediately in front of the turning to a busy ROC with their arse-end six feet over the centre line...

"Watch out for bollards—especially when you are reversine Wise wards indeed; at least with an artic you can knock them down completely. So the bottom line for all operators of blue vans with drivers between 31-40 who need to deliver on a Friday is... well, you're knackered aren't you?
