Are millions of people getting Motability cars for anxiety and ADHD?

In this episode of More or Less, Tim Harford and his team dissect several statistical claims in the news. They investigate the accuracy of a statement regarding the impact of inheritance tax changes on farmers, revealing a significant discrepancy in the reported figures. The team also examines claims about the number of people receiving mobility cars due to anxiety and ADHD, finding the figures to be greatly exaggerated. Additionally, they analyze a Movember campaign statistic that claims two in five men die "too young," clarifying the definition of "too young" and questioning the methodology used to arrive at that statistic. Finally, Tim explores data-driven strategies for improving his marathon performance, consulting an expert in exercise physiology to optimize his training.
