Wealthier people also appeared more willing to lie at work. In one experiment, volunteers were left alone with a jar of sweets ostensibly meant for children. When the researchers returned, upper-class people had snaffled nearly twice as many candies as lower-class people."

    Working with Brian Rogers, of the UCD Spatial Dynamics Lab, Dublin Inquirer's Collision Tracker has recently been updated:

    collisiontracker.ie/?ref=masto

    It now includes not only hazards, near misses, and collisions reported by users, but also years of data from the Road Safety Authority.
