Thanks for this background. What's the best way to download your data, or the feds data?


Just go to the NHTSA FARS website.. here's the FTP:

https://www.nhtsa.gov/file-downloads?p=nhtsa/downloads/FARS/


Thank you, that is very useful.

In fact, the author of the website "I mapped almost every.." might want to add references to the data sources for credibility and less of a "spam" look. How about an About page.

The splash photos on that website says it all.


Reposted to foil vandals:

Yup. The same way "we're" being snarky for harmless absent-minded mistakes for no good reason.


This comment is pure useless snark.


That's the point. I'm using snark to demonstrate how useless using snark is.

Clever, eh?


So you admit you're being dumb on purpose.

Go away.


OP made a great contribution to the discussion.

Going off on a cynical tangent over protocols is just noise, and adds nothing of value to the discussion.


I mean theoretically everything is a file transfer protocol...


Nice try, but UDP is very much not a file transfer protocol.


short files only, but it is file transfer. of course nothing stops you from doing like tftp and splitting files to reassemble.
