It's not only the US Gov't that hides critial information from the public ...

English authorities keep life and death information secret also (Women cyclists ‘risk death’ by obeying traffic lights).
The report by Transport for London’s road safety unit was completed last July but has been kept secret. It suggests that some cyclists who break the law by jumping red lights may be safer and that cycle feeder lanes may make the problem worse.
Appears that women cyclists obey the traffic laws more frequently than men and as a result also are killed by lorries more frequently than men.

Wonder what their justification was for keeping this report secret? It might encourage women to disobey some traffic laws in order to stay alive?
