Each pair of bars shares one scale; compare within a card, not across cards. The figure at top right is refused minus took.
What it shows
Compares processing time, median bail, release without bail and conviction rate for people who took a breath or blood test and people who refused one. Each metric has its own scale.
How to read it
- Compare the two bars inside one card; do not compare bars across cards, because the units differ.
- The figure at the top right of each card is the refused value minus the took value.
- A difference in outcomes is not proof that the test caused it. People who refuse can differ from those who test in other ways.
