That a 20% increase in the number of cars on the road will have a corresponding increase in the number of accidents?

I would guess not because that which appears logical can often be false. That is why we collect data and study it to determine what the actual numbers are.

I won't hold my breath waiting for that data as you have yet to provide support from any of your other "factual" observations.
