Appx. means approximately, and he showed me a sheet from one of his other students Law 12 classes, ( it was a sheet on auto accidents in north america and what could be dont to prevent them) Urban myth or not, im pretty sure the numbers are up there all right.


Think about it, U.S.A. has hundreds of millions of people, so this is only a fraction of the population each day.
