However, all speed limits were substantially lowered as part of the
switch-over, and were incrementally increased over a period of time. So
everyone was driving very slowly (and no doubt paying a _lot_ more
attention than usual), which probably would explain any decrease in
accidents.
So I guess the logical conclusion is that if we switch the button
ordering, we should also reduce everyone's mouse sensitivity to
compensate.
