Accidents and injuries will not be reduced because of striping.

And of course some few who drive at night in the rain....you know, the safe already drivers, will be able to see the stripes and feel better....but here too not change the way they drive.
Sorry, but I think you're over-complicating this. And mixing apples and oranges a bit too...

I don't think anybody is saying that striping will turn bad drivers into good drivers. The pro-striping folks are just saying that...for those folks who have some trouble seeing the edges of the paths at night...it can help.

IMHO, the bad driving that occurs 24/7/365 is not a relevant part of this discussion.
