What he's saying is they may have calculated rates based on how many cars of that brand were sold rather than how many are still "in circulation".

or, maybe, if you are the type of person who can only afford a car whose brand no longer exists, you are sufficiently risk averse that you are much less likely to get an accident. Makes sense to me. Also, it may be that a lot of these car brands only exists in a sort of suvivorship-biased place. For example, I drive a '94 Camry, in large part because I've never had a need to replace it, having never been in an accident.

Then the out of production brands would have infinity DUI, accidents, etc...
No, I think DP (1) didn't understand "rates" in the title then (2) critiqued methodology without opening the link
