and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 2 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 10 figures, never sentences; 6 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the out-of-service rate by inspection level, by violation group and by year, computed from FMCSA's inspection files beside CVSA's own published Roadcheck results, so the annual enforcement baseline and the three-day blitz are read against each other - the gap between them is the finding nobody publishes; the vehicle rate and the driver rate carried separately because they move in opposite directions; the leading OOS violation per year and its share", "embed": "
