Prior to the 55 limit, if an accident victim died within one year of the accident, it was included in the stats as a traffic death.
When the 55 limit was imposed, the stastistical system was changed- Only people who died within one month were counted as traffic deaths.
The stats were skewed on purpose to show a drop in traffic deaths with the slower speeds.
